[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 49914, member: 34"] Re: Power amplifier sensitivity question.... I'd also like to mention that if the amp has any built-in DSP or crossover that this is where it is especially helpful. If the input signal is full range and the output signal is just some portion of full range, the output signal will be a much lower voltage than the input signal just by the nature of it being less of the audio spectrum. So in many cases, DSP amplifiers have to handle much higher input levels so their outputs can still be driven to full power. I know this is a serious issue with Itechs and XTis, as in many cases the input will clip first no matter what, and makeup gain has to be applied in the DSP to compensate. [/QUOTE]
