Max power input with a 150W amp ?

Post by omegalx13 »

Hello,

In the doc, the power at the input of the 150W amp it s only 1W. I can up this value to 1.5 W or 2 W ? Without overdrive the PA for get a bit of power in outpout (160 170 W) :P

Thanks !!!

Extremely easy, just use this:

For example 3dB attenuator:
3dB attenuator (2W-1W)

You put 2W at the input and 1W comes out. The rest is turned into heat.

150W amp needs 1-1.5W to reach full output power.
