**1. What is the power of the speaker?**
The power rating of a speaker refers to the maximum amount of electrical power it can handle without being damaged. This is often misunderstood, leading to improper use and potential damage. The rated power, also known as long-term power, indicates the level at which the speaker can operate continuously without harm.
During factory testing, this power rating is determined using pink noise at a constant temperature of 20°C for 48 hours. However, in real-world environments like KTV rooms, where music has large dynamic peaks and the conditions are harsher, it's safer to keep the input power below 20% of the rated power.
Speakers also have a peak power rating, which represents the short-term power they can handle. This is typically allowed for 1 second, with a maximum of 10 repetitions. Exceeding this limit can cause damage. It's recommended not to exceed 1/4 of the peak power when using such speakers.
**2. What is the rated output power of the amplifier?**
The rated output power of an amplifier is the maximum power it can deliver without distortion—usually under 1% distortion. This value depends on several factors: the mains voltage (which should be stable at 220V), the load impedance (e.g., 8Ω or 4Ω), and ambient temperature.
In tests, amplifiers are evaluated at 20°C. If used in hotter environments, especially in KTV rooms, even under rated power, the amplifier may overheat and fail. Also, the rated power is measured under undistorted conditions. If the volume is increased too much, distortion occurs, and the actual power delivered can far exceed the rated value. For example, a 150W amplifier might produce up to 200W when distorted.
**3. How should I match the power when choosing amplifiers and speakers?**
To ensure optimal performance and safety, the amplifier’s power should be slightly higher than the speaker’s rated power—ideally 20-30% more. If the amplifier’s power is too low, the system will lack bass and dynamic range, and users may turn up the volume, causing distortion and possible damage.
When the amplifier outputs more power than the speaker can handle, it's crucial to manage the output carefully. This allows the amplifier to maintain a "power reserve," ensuring better sound quality and preventing speaker damage.
**4. Why do you often "burn the tweeter"?**
Tweeters are the most delicate part of a speaker and are often the first to fail when there's improper use. Common causes include incorrect power matching, improper operation, and connection issues.
For example, if a 2*200W amplifier is connected to a 120W speaker with 6Ω impedance, the actual power delivered could exceed the speaker’s capacity, damaging the tweeter. Additionally, turning the amplifier on before the sound source or inserting the microphone while the power is on can create harmful current spikes, potentially damaging the speaker.
Connection problems, such as poor grounding or loose cables, can also lead to sudden surges that damage the speaker. Proper setup and handling are essential to avoid these issues.
**Additional Tips for Users**
It's important for users to understand how to properly use microphones and equipment. For instance, keeping the microphone close to the mouth ensures good signal strength, while avoiding excessive volume or improper connections helps prevent damage. Educating staff and placing clear instructions can go a long way in maintaining equipment and improving user experience.
