Default Measuring audio power ...


"Arfa Daily"

Ok, so who knows a bit about measuring audio power ?



** Well, obviously not you.


Setting aside any furious arguments about peak power, rms power, average
power, backpeddling average peak music power on any given friday in March
etc, does an audio power meter sum the power in both half cycles to arrive
at a reading, or just one.



** The phrase " audio power meter " is not defined.



I guess what I'm asking is half wave reccy ahead of the meter, or full
wave bridge ?




** AC voltage meters are usually full wave.

True RMS types certainly are.

Or are you really asking about programme level meters like VUs and PPMs ?
