RE: How Can They Lie About RMS Power Ratings ?

There is really no such thing as RMS power.

A snippet from the Rane Pro Audio Reference:

"rms power No such thing. A misnomer, or application of a wrong name. There is no such thing as "rms power." Average or apparent power is calculated using rms values but that does not equal "rms power;" it equals continuous sine wave power output into a resistive load."

There is no FFC mandate for truth. No two manufacturers are going to agree on the method either. Manufacturers just have to provide a rating that passes UL. That's about it.

If you have a calculator, it is pretty easy to figure out the truth.
