RE: Slew Rate

Hey Tom, a couple thoughts/questions/comments...

Regarding this comment:

"From that info, you can pick a high frequency like 21KHz, figure out it's time period for one cycle, figure out what the rate of change is for that undistorted sine wave at full Voltage swing and then convert the period to Volts per micro-seconds."

Putting that into perspective, I would think that, since upper frequencies typically require less power/current output than lower frequencies, we'd be less concerned about a full power voltage swing to reproduce them. On the other hand, using an amplifier for full-range usage (as opposed to bi- or tri-amping), the higher frequencies "ride on top of" the lower frequencies (when one looks at a complex waveform), and thus are at their mercy with regard to amplifier performance.

I'm no John Curl by any means, but these would seem to be considerations. (Now he's going to come here and bitch-slap me. Which, by the way, I'll learn from! )

Your thoughts?

:)
