"It's Krud-Sonik -- so you know it's great!"
I keep seeing "Technical Pro" products advertised, especially in "close-out"
catalogs. The spec'd power ratings (how does one get 400W peak out of a 45W amplifier?) are beyond my understanding of basic physics. The claim that, if you know pro audio, you know just how great Technical Pro is, sounds as if it were written by someone at Bose. Who, exactly, is "Technical Pro"? Just curious... -- "We already know the answers -- we just haven't asked the right questions." -- Edwin Land |

That's not unusual performance for a 45 watt amplifier, but it's not usually sold as a 400 watt amplifier. Who, exactly, is "Technical Pro"? Where do you see this advertised? Is it a brand name? Or a description? -- "Today's production equipment is IT based and cannot be operated without a passing knowledge of computing, although it seems that it can be operated without a passing knowledge of audio." - John Watkinson http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com - useful and interesting audio stuff |

Where do you see this advertised? Is it a brand name? Or a description? Forgive me. In my rush to post, I neglected to include a URL http://www.jr.com/technical-pro/pe/T...Expo1.06162011 JR is not the only company selling this "brand". I'm rather disappointed that it does, though. |

"Soundhaspriority" wrote in message ... By Ohms Law, W = E^2/R , E = sqrt( W*R) = sqrt( 400*8) = sqrt( 3200) = 56.5V. You're assuming 8ohm speakers which NO cheap amplifier manufacturer does when claiming PMPO, even IF his amp cannot handle 4 ohm speakers for more than a few mS before blowing up. Perhaps it does, for a millisecond, or so. Exactly. Trevor. |

... William Sommerwerck wrote: Who, exactly, is "Technical Pro"? The Internet Division of The White Van Company. ROTFLMAO. I met one of those guys some years ago. When I told him what I owned and how much it cost, he got very angry. "You could buy a car for that!" |

Just curious... -- "We already know the answers -- we just haven't asked the right questions." -- Edwin Land The reason it says "Professional" is that if it were a consumer product, that sort of advertising would not be allowed. I recently bought a piece of gear that was sold as having 50 watt output. It was powered by a wall wart of 15 Volts, 1.6 Amps capibility. With 100% efficiency, that comes to 24 watts, but it was adequate for the purpose. I only needed about 5 watts and it sounded fine for that. |
