27. s technical specification is the best guide to the size of amplifier required for general purpose applications The amplifier should therefore be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to the loudspeaker s program power rating at the loudspeaker s stated nominal impedance This approach allows sufficient headroom to generate good dynamic range RECOMMENDED AMPLIFIER POWER RATINGS The amplifier s rated r m s continuous power output 20Hz 20kHz per channel should be equal to the program power handling of the loudspeaker at its nominal impedance In general the more powerful the amplifier the better it will sound provided that it is not driven into sustained clipping It should be understood that overdriving an insufficiently powered amplifier is more likely to cause loudspeaker damage the total energy in a heavily clipped signal is far higher than in an unclipped signal than operating a more powerful amplifier within its ratings All the equipment in the system before the system controller should be set up for OdBV 775mV maximum output One controller can be used to feed several amplifiers as long as all the amplifiers are the same or have the same gain ratings More than one controller may be required if the amplifiers are of different gain or type please contact your dealer if you require help in this area tcs manual page 9 user manual TCS series System Configurations Many different
