In Reply to: Behringer I nuke 6,000 watts $400. Jeez... posted by Elizabeth on June 30, 2011 at 11:51:05:
wildly exaggerated. Here's why, 3,000 watts per channel at let's say 95% efficiency, because 100% efficiency is impossible to achieve, would draw 52.6 amps of current at 120 volts. And yet, buried in its specifications the Behringer I Nuke draws only 620 watts. So, that's less than 300 real world continuous output watts per channel; granted 300 watts per channel is still powerful enough to fry a few speakers. It is just not anywhere near 3,000 watts output; what were they counting, output power for less than one millisecond duration? As Tim de Paravicini once said, You can't squash a watt.
Let's see how much continuous output power it has for five full minutes at less than 5% THD, without overheating or blowing a fuse. Still, it would probably be fine for subwoofer duties at a very low cost.
