![]() ![]() Well your speakers are really the 2nd weak link here, and not really your amplifier.īecause if they, your PA speakers sound bad, then no good amplifier or audio source is going to make them sound any better !!!Īnd so your 3rd weak link naturally in your audio chain is your Power Amplifier.ĭon't get me wrong here, their All Important Together here in making good audio sound quality, but what Sound Quality are You looking for, also in your Budget range/cost, so that is really the question here ? The 1st weak link in your chain of good audio quality is really your equipment you use plain and simple: meaning bad A/C Line Power and or Line Noise and Grounding Problems like Hum Noise, your Mixer, the Mixer Source, Audio and Speaker cables, CD player, Record Player, Tape deck, MP3's and Loss of Quality Compressed Audio, E.Q unit etc. Most No Name stuff has power ratings that are outrageous like 1,000 watts power handling and 120 db signal to noise ratio, do not believe it for Once in your life', unless of course it is a reputable brand name, but even then be careful' why ?. It can spell Doom for your Good Sound you obviously want ! Headphones are optimally suited for analyzing tonal artifacts in a recording but completely distort distance perception.Click to expand.Your no name brand PA speakers might be a problem, there is so many " No Name Brand Speakers " out there made in China by the lowest Contractor Bid, just like here in America, doesn't that make you feel all warm and cozy inside ?! "Headphones are completely unsuited for judging the spatial rendering of a stereo recording that is intended for loudspeaker playback. Money doesn't buy pleasure ever."-Alan Watts "It's enormously important to understand that there is absolutely no possibility of having any pleasure in life at all without skill. Unfortunately very few of our current genre of acoustic tests have had this kind of introspection." - Geddes It is the perceived sound quality that matters not the measured quality – unless that measurement has been scaled and correlated to subjective perception through valid psychoacoustic tests. "Blind reliance on measurements can be misleading ‐ one needs to tie those measurements back to subjective perception. The room response gives a picture of the steady state SPL, where sound generation and sound dissipation in the room have reached their equilibrium." -Linkwitz The resulting curves must not be taken as a 1:1 representation of what is heard as loudness at different frequencies. " The room response must be averaged to recognize trends in the summation of direct and reflected signals at the microphone. ![]() are welcome.Īny donations are much appreciated using : But that it delivers way, way above its cost point.Īs always, questions, comments, recommendations, etc. Not because it has great measured performance as far as noise and distortion. I am going to recommend the Pyle PT8000CH. The PT8000CH won't be my main choice for a high-performance 2-channel system but for surround duty and certainly multi-room amplification, it seems fine. ![]() You are paying almost nothing for this amplifier (the case alone could cost you this much!) yet you get way above a broken design. The amplifier protection and ability to handle complex loads is excellent. Distortion and noise are rather high though and rank well below our average. Massive power supply courtesy of dual toroidal transformers powers the 8 channels well, allowing the amplifier to meet spec. The build quality of this 8-channel amplifier seems quite substantial. Testing at 1 ohm resulted in momentary shutdown. At 2 ohm though, it starts to complain, dropping its output voltage by nearly half. This is quite robust! At both 4 and 8 ohms, the amp doesn't care if the load is reactive or not.
