Thats quite a difference, if it was a new behringer it would be marketed as a 6400W amp!! I do think its usefull info though, theres more to burst tests than having some vague reasioning for over the top marketing claims. I agree 1500W for half the time is not really 1500W, its 750W. Its usefull to know how an amp will behave when guiven a signal with a lower duty cycle than a sine wave though. |

Real WORLD of last generation of BURST Power Amplifiers.
Scroll till the end.
Do you like Burst power?
Is like PMPO power(on my opinion)
Sorry for disgrace them but for me those amps are like Arnold movie "True Lies"...
K10 max 1400W RMS continouous...
Where is the rest till 8 Kw?
Crown Itech 8000 2xmax 500 W continuous, ... sux
Labgruppen FP6400 max 2x 1000W continuous, s*it...
What the hell is that?
Looks the marketing takes place instead real power...
That's why I like the most , OLDSCHOOLS amplifiers HEAVY but REALLY... Edited by DjLeco - 11 May 2009 at 7:12pm |

Those were the type of testing procedures found in all Crown manuals ranging from their PSA 2 in the late 70’s to the MA 5000vz in the early 1990’s. Various duty cycles could be found in the “A.C. Power Draw and Thermal Dissipation” chart. There was no 1/8 or 1/3 power that is so common today. Instead, you would find duty cycles ranging from 10 – 50% Reading a Crown manual then, was like reading a textbook. Best Regards, |

I find a lot of this 'burst power' debate quite trivial really - when the power handling of drive units is based around continuous and transient power. Personally, I'd rather choose an amp that delivers the continuous rating of a drive unit but can also deliver the 'burst rating' as well, although I don't require them to do it continuously.

I think manufacturer didn't do burst power in same maner....When I bench, power amp, I always use Burst, but burst of at least 500ms and then 1000ms off...I have to do that because here we just have 120V at 20A in the outlet! In that way, I always get a value really close to RMS stated power...I agree that a 10ms burst will be a lot more than a 500ms one!

Fredos, I know you produce D-Amps, classD amplifiers,a simple question please:
Is not more FAIR to give in amplifiers specifications, the REAL RMS power than the burst peak power?
I know, by example, the amplifiers with big burst power, ex Powersoft K10 is rated for 2x8 Kwatts and those type of amplifiers are very good for live applications used especially for bass part.
Ok, presuming the burst power is really 2x5000W, and using those amp exclusive for subs,where are preponderent bass under 50 Hz, if there is a bass passage longer than 500 msec,generated by a bass guitar or by a synthesizer , I give by example the song "Prodigal blues" of Billy Idol,where the bass are by synthesizer at frecv around 35 Hz, longer than 4-6 seconds, HOW will perform those burst amplifiers?
Their REAL power (Powersoft K10 in case) woll drop from 2x6000 watts (burst 20 msec) till 2x1400 watts RMS maximum, because:
Their power supply cannot aford that power of such seconds of bass?
Or final stage cannot sustain the power?
Is that fair?
Wich is RESPONSABLE for that enormous power dropping?
Because I listen MUSIC, wich between burst of 20-200 msecs,it could contain longer type of signal than burst of 20 msec...
With what help me in my case, an amplifier K10 if his real RMS power is max 2x1300-1500 watts sustainable than a macrotech VZ5000, excluding weight ans internal DSP of K10?
Thank you for further explanations, I want to understand the scope of this huge burst power,instead real RMS power. Edited by DjLeco - 12 May 2009 at 1:25am |

A K-10 will do far more than 2x1400w continuous
