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

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

The type of rectifier doesn't make a great deal of difference,


** Makes one hell of a difference on programme or any asymmetrical wave.


although full wave probably has the edge on accuracy.


** Asinine ********.



OK, that'll do me....

rest snipped/ignored......


Ah! The estimable Phil replied, did he? He occupies the unique
position of not making the journey from my ISP to my computer as I
refuse to pollute my hard drive with his vile spewings.
