Default Techy speaker sensitivity question


"Keith G"

To spare my remaining active braincell (see other recent post) could
someone kindly tell me what the speaker sensitivity figure for 1 Watt
would be if the brochure (IMF TLS 80s) quotes:

'Efficiency measured via Pink Noise at 1 metre for 40 Watts = 98 dB'

??



** I seriously doubt that figure is even faintly for real.

1. 40 watts of pink noise requires a power amp of at least 500 watts to
deliver (ie 12 db peak to rms ratio).

2. 40 watts of continuous input ( to some crap pommy hi-fi speaker) causes
horrendous voice coil heating and hence many dBs of thermal sound
compression.

3. 40 watts of input will cause partial demagnetisation of the magnetic
force on the voice coil and more dBs of sound compression.


It's utter ******** !!.

It's not a measurement, but a falsely calculated estimate based on
hypothetical guesses.

IOW - the Yankee Dodge method.

Peeeeeeeukkkkkkeee


BTW

Anyone prepared to donate one 303 calibre bullet to put a poor dumb animal
called " Keith G" out of its misery ??

Have a heart.
