Ah k, I think I've got it worked out. I was using a normal voltmeter instead of a RMS voltmeter (never knew something like this existed) thats why I only got 18.8ACV. Would someone be able to attach a Sine Wave file which I can just open using winamp to test it. Can you use a normal volt meter to get the same reading as the RMS voltmeter? |

Hi todd, I have considered getting some experienced help, I've been to all the music stores that sell PA gear and all they asked me was "Where did you get the gear from?" and I said "Big Time Audio (in USA)" and then they say "We can't help you because you didn't buy the gear from us etc". There are only a few stores in Perth that sell this gear. |

Hey everyone, I'm in need of a little help & advice. I'm trying to get the best method to obtaining the voltage from my amp (Crown XTi2000) & speakers (Yamaha S215V) to match in stereo mode. I've got this method for my speakers (not to sure if it's correct) voltage = sq root of watts X impendance = 500 watts X 4 ohms = 2000 then hit sq root = 44.721 volts AC. (500/1000/2000 is the rating of the speakers at 4ohms) I currently don't have limiters set So I'd be getting the full 800 per channel. I was wondering which type of Wave I should use to get the most accurate reading (i.e. Sine Wave, Pink Noise). I've got a volt meter ready to do testings. If you need more information, let me know. I've left a attachment, which includes a frequency range and specs of the speakers. I don't know how to read the information by myself. |

Limiters are set to prevent too much power from reaching the speakers ... not to keep an amp from clipping. What you want is to set your limiters so that you don't deliver more than the average rated power to the speaker .... amp clipping or no. |
