Comparing amp specs - gain
« on: September 16, 2015, 12:19:23 PM »

So, I am feeling math challenged this morning despite the coffee so am asking for some help.

I drive my QRX212 HF (bi-amped) with one channel of a QSC PLX1602.
I have my DSP set up for this.

I need 2 more channels of amp in the rack with no available space.
I am considering the Behringer 4 ch amp as a solution but am trying to figure out the DSP gain changes I need to make for the substitution.

The specs as I could find them...

The PLX1602
Voltage gain = 40x (32dB)

Input sensitivity, V RMS
Full rated power at 8 ohms = 1.2v (+3.9 dBu) = 300w
Full rated power at 4 ohms = 1.1v (+3.2 dBu) = 500w

The INuke NU4-6000 (4 ch mono mode)
Max rated power at 8 ohms = 440w
Max rated power at 4 ohms = 860w

Input sensitivity for rated power into 4 ohms = 0.775 V (0 dBu)

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I already answered you on another forum

short answer is

58.65/0.775=75.67x or 37.57dB
