OK is it possible to REALLY lay this question to rest??
First off my music store guy says something differnt than the tech rep from the company, then throw in about 5 other sound techs that i have talked to and they all give me different answer.
I am looking at buying PA speakers that have all these different power ratings on them.
What IS the difference between.........
Continuous Power?
RMS Power?
Peak Power?
Burst power?
actually if you could tell me what size of power amp to hook up to a speaker enclosure that is rated at the following at 4 ohms.(i copied the description from the manufacturer). Notice the 3 different power ratings.
3-way, full-range enclosure houses a 15" Black Widow® woofer, 2-way asymmetrical Quadratic Throat Waveguide™ horn, and an RX 22 - 2" titanium-diaphragm compression driver. Includes Sound Guard™ III tweeter and midrange protection. Handles 600W continuous power, 1200W program, and 2400W peak. Baltic birch construction. Frequency response: 54Hz to 16kHz. Max SPL: 132dB peak.
Now hows am i suppose to know what size of power amp to hook up to these?
Help please if you can.
If anyone posts their opinion or facts, ill tell you what my music store guy said and what the manufacturer said.
