| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Power specified at 6ohm is 130W. Theoretical ideal power bridged at 6ohm should be 520W and is 480W (7.7% less). Also current was changed to 29A per channel. Perhaps 18A specification was for the early versions. | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? Dumbeat, I use Firman Elite 20PFI. Built in Power Factor Correction consists of big inductor and capacitor. They stores energy and are able to deliver up to 58A of peak current.Most of linear power supplies take current from mains in very narrow... | |
| Could I be a Retail Wretch? To answer your question, you are wasting their time. What you think you should pay for any given item has nothing to do what the store needs to cover expenses and generate a profit. Long time ago salesman "wasted" many hours presenting car to me... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker George, Where did you find 480W/4ohm? Their website states 480W/6ohm. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker The maximum continuous current capability into 8, 4, whatever loads will increase when an amp is bridged. Agreed. The only confusion is word "capability". IMHO it should be:The continuous current into 8, 4, whatever loads will increase when an ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Maximum current won't double. (It will be still 29A). Maximum current is an absolute maximum that amplifier can deliver. This specification shows amplifier's ability to drive difficult low impedance loads. It says that when 4 ohm speaker's i... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker jon_5912, Yes, current will double when you double voltage, but you stated that current CAPABILITY (meaning max current) will be better. Current capability of AHB2 in bridged mode will be still 29A.Assuming that you meant current (and not current ... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker At any given volume the bridged amp will have better current capability.Current capability will be the same (29A for AHB2). Bridging just doubles output voltage. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Plain zip cord is fairly inductive and thicker zip cord, that is the stuff with larger gauge copper, becomes even more inductive while the resistance drops.Inductance of straight wire is lower for thicker wires. For instance gauge 16 wire has ind... | |
| Dumb file size question. n80, I have all my ripped CDs on HD in ALAC transmitted by WiFi to DAC. Since transmission, similar to your Schiitt USB is asynchronous, nothing on the side of computer matters as long as the data has lossless compression (ALAC, FLAC etc).CD DR c... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker It is also possible that 480W limitation comes from power dissipation of the output or power supply (29A max current seems adequate) and is not relevant, unless one listens to continuous sine waves. Music has very low average power while peaks mi... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Let me examine one statement made before by b4icu:The DF is actually the way the Amp. is getting control over the speaker's coil. A coil, especially a moving one in a magnetic field, generates an electric current that is equal to the one made it m... | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker jon_5912, When you bridge 33.3V into 10ohm speaker you'll get 66.6V and 6.66A making 400W. Bridging quadruples power (since it doubles the voltage). | |
| Dumb file size question. Twice the rate and 50% more bits makes 3x more data. 3x300MB=900MB, not far off from 1.26GB | |
| Bridged Mono eziggy, Power is proportional to output voltage squared. Since output voltage doubles in bridged configuration power will quadruple (400watt@8ohm). Current also becomes doubled and amp might not be able to deliver it. That's why 4 ohm bridged is... |
