If I had the $$$$, I would reserve a room at the next CAF, install two of these babies, and see what room treatment might make them sound half-way decent. They might even sound better than some other rooms. ray |

I don't know about you, but I don't refer to Wendy Williams for audio recommendations. |

In reality, it put out 1,200 watts RMS per channel. When I spoke to them about it they said this very short term peak power rating was "common" for DJ applications and they were conforming to that tradition. In reality it was a very competent "lower" powered amp for only $400. As far as running on a regular 120 VAC line, When living in MD, I was running my whole system including a true 5KW of amplifier power (two QSC 1310 and one Crown Macro Reference) on a shared 15 amp branch circuit. I never had a breaker trip because of the high peak to average nature of music, but I use a soft start circuit on my whole system to prevent turn on surges as all the storage caps in the different pieces charge up. If not, I'm sure I would trip the breaker. In the current house, I'm running everything including over 7KW of amplifier power since I have added the distributed subs to the system powered by a Crown Studio Reference amp for a quad amped set up. It is on a dedicated 30 amp circuit and still goes through the soft start circuit. I'm including a photo of the equipment rack in the basement and the soft start circuit panel. It also has one power strip that is a straight on/off because some digital displays do not like a soft start. I'm including photos on the rack and soft start. Bottom line on the original piece shown, I don't see it in my future. Tom Tsk, Tsk Tom! As an EE you know better! Nema 5-15R receptacles on a 30 ampere circuit? Never! Clear violation of NFPA 70 210.23 and tables! Try not to burn down your beautiful new home!!!! Just ball busting! Slick

Tsk, tsk Stuart. Each power strip has it's own 15 amp breaker so each acts like a separate branch circuit. Input to the soft start circuit is appropriately wired and fused for the box capacity. The box then acts like a load center to feed the "branch circuits". That box comes off another box on the wall I built that feeds the soft start and also a standard NEMA 5-15R that is separately fused that goes to the UPS on top of the rack that is always on and feeds my music servers and other stuff that I leave on. This is not my first rodeo. |
