[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 66466, member: 34"] Re: Need advice on a generator to run my sound system Increasing RPM changes the frequency, not the voltage. The voltage is regulated by the excitation circuit, on larger units this is dynamic, on smaller units it is fixed. Adrian, please chime in here and clarify my answer. -------------------------------------------------- Richard, I like big generators. I regularly use 68k and 30k units with no problems. I have used a 25k Whisperwatt running some Itechs for about 20,000 watts of system power, and it handled 40 amp peaks without a problem, though the voltage and frequency did sag slightly on each peak. I'd shoot to have double the generator watts as you have sound system watts. [/QUOTE]
