Re: Crown I-Tech 4x3500HD
Langston, thank you for posting this, I was going to post something similar once I got time. Looking at the selection range, you selected exactly 20ms. In this case, I'm going to say that a 20ms burst spec is, in fact, a useful spec for these amps.
Here's my reasoning: the 'burst' rating is just a bit less than 3dB more than the usual average power, but in your picture, the kick drum attack in the 20ms window is actually about 6dB more than the decay right after the 20ms window. This means that a 'burst' power rating of even 6dB above average power could be useful, at least for this specific kick drum.
Sure, the 'burst' rating may not matter much for EDM or bass guitar or other sustained sources, but for a kick drum, it's definitely useful.
