A Few Important Things You Should Understand Regarding Wireless Speakers
Today's outdoor wireless speakers come in all shapes and sizes. Finding the ideal model for your application can often be tough. There is a flood of different names and terms describing loudspeaker performance. Also, each manufacturer publishes a large amount of specifications, including "sound pressure level", "dynamic range" et cetera. I am going to explain the term "speaker output power" a bit more in this article. "Output power" is one of the most essential terms describing loudspeaker performance. However, it is frequently misunderstood. A few manufacturers also in the past have utilized this specification in a misleading manner to conceal the actual performance.
If you are looking to buy a pair of loudspeakers to install in your house, you will often be faced with a number of bizarre technical jargon describing its performance. But how do these numbers relate to how the speaker sounds and how are those to be interpreted? Now I will give some facts about "loudspeaker wattage". This specification is often misunderstood. It is essential to look fairly closely at how the maker shows this parameter.
"Wattage" shows how loud your loudspeaker can sound. If you have a small room then you don't require much more than several watts. If you want to set up loudspeakers in the open or in a live show then you are going to require a few hundred watts of power. The majority of loudspeakers are going to show increasing music distortion as output power increases. Therefore, you want to go with a loudspeaker that offers bigger output power than you are going to in fact need. This will assure that you will never drive the speaker into areas of large distortion.
Wattage is either specified as "Watts peak" which means the speaker can tolerate short burst of this amount of power or "Watts rms" which shows how much output power the loudspeaker may tolerate for a longer period of time. In history, manufacturers have usually preferred showing the "peak power". This number is higher than the average or "rms" power. On the other hand, "peak power" can frequently be confusing as there is no standard stating the amount of time that the loudspeaker has to be able to endure this amount of power.
Today the majority of speakers will state rms wattage which offers a better indication of the speakers' actual performance. On the other hand, please ensure that your speaker has sufficient headroom to steer clear of clipping of the music. This is because at certain points in time the signal is going to show peaks of power which by far surpass the average power of the signal.
Usually the impedance of the speakers that you attach to your amp will determine how much output power your amplifier may provide. Speaker impedance is measured in Ohms. Normally loudspeakers have an impedance between 4 and 8 Ohms. Amps have a limited output voltage swing due to the fixed internal supply voltage. As such the highest output wattage of your amp will vary depending on the speaker impedance. The lower the speaker impedance the bigger the maximum power your amp may deliver. Typically a 4-Ohm speaker is utilized as a reference.
