PA amps for home stereo

Then I played it as a repeating loop, and could hear the cyclic change of tone. No way could I have heard it with music, of course. Sure you weren't hearing the envelope of average power content dropping ? Good point. My simulations suggest that this effect is on the order of 2 dB. Another point is that a filter that is about 2 dB down at 20 KHz is 1 dB down at 15 KHz, and maybe 0.5 dB down at 10 KHz. The effects of first order filters are so broad as to be about useless in an evaluation like this. |

I used a first order filter because that is what the top end of a power amplifier response tends towards - this wasn't an exercise to see what drop I could hear at 20kHz. If somebody can plot the actual response of the Behringer amp, and it turns out to be other than first order, I will give that a go. d -- Pearce Consulting http://www.pearce.uk.com |
