hello,
i'm helping a fixed installation situation get better over time. they
don't have money to do it all at once.
i want to get a crown 800 power amp, and run it into their existing
speakers. their speakers are wimpy and not used to seeing more than
100 watts.
so i'm hoping i can just keep the amp turned down low until more
powerful speakers can be installed.
will that be ok?
Probably not. The level control simply adjusts the amp's sensitivity for
full output.
If you put in a bigger signal ( such as drive the mix harder ) then you
still get the full watts. It's *not* a 'power control'.
