    Continuous Versus RMS Specifications

    I was looking at the general specs of some PA speakers I have and they have two power ratings listed: Dynamic and Continuous. The continuous (325 W) is a little less than half the dynamic rating (700 W). Is continuous the same as RMS?

    Ampeg SVT4-PRO power rating confusion

    Played a gig recently and I'm thinking about setting up a "big rig" again for when I need it. I'm considering an SVT4-Pro as a power amp that can double as a bass amp in an emergency. I found the Ampeg manual for the SVT4-Pro here: https://ampeg.com/pdf/SVT4PRO_OM.pdf I'm confused, because on...

    Relationship Between SPL, Wattage and Volume

    I don't know too much about amplifier and cabinet specifications beyond knowing how to calculate the Ohms an amp head can handle. What is the relationship between a cabinet's SPL rating, its wattage rating (RMS) and how much volume it can produce? For example, will two cabinets with the same...

    Schroeder 12PL 1x12 Cabinet with LeCover cover. I bought this as a "practice cab" but quickly found it outperforms most 2x12 options out there. Since I'm otherwise set for my larger/louder rigs, it's not being used as intended. While it sounds absolutely fantastic at volume, I can tell it wants...

    New Amp Power Ratings - RMS or peak?

    I've been comparing my old setup with some of the newer stuff out there. My old amp works pretty good especially after swapping in a neo speaker, but not sure if it would sound anemic in comparison with newer stuff. When looking at newer amps (Ampeg, Peavey, Fender), I see that many are in the...

    Unmasking the Duty Cycle 'Elephant in the Room'

    ~ In the 'good old days' of tube (and early solid state) musical instrument amplifiers, we never had to think about anything like 'duty cycle'. We just looked at the (generally accepted to be) RMS watts stated by the amp maker, and if we had any doubts, we looked up the plate dissipation...

    Are RMS Watts a Thing of the Past ?

    ~ Recently, I have begun to shop for a better bass amp head, and the plentitude of choices now available amazes me. However what amazes me even more is how few of them seem to know what an RMS watt is, or at least it would appear so by this not explicitly being mentioned on very many spec...

    RMS output differences in all-tube amps

    Watt Headroom??

    Hey peeps! Is it a bad idea to pump *1200 watts @ 8ohms into an *800 watt @ 8 ohms (rms) 1600 watt (peak) cab? Over time? At all? I feel like thats 400 watts of headroom with 400 to spare until damage. Any help appreciated. Thanks! *Ampeg SVT-4Pro into GK NEO 410.
