EFFICIENCY OF GENELEC PRODUCTS

MODERN SOUND REPRODUCTION: MORE HEAT THAN SOUND?

I came over a spec sheet of an amplifier* where the producer used the terms "watts in", "watts out" and "dissapated".

Efficiency is one of the overarching ideas behind the Genelec philosophy (cfr. Genelec's and Martikainen's focus on recycling, environment, broader values etc.), so I figured I would have liked to know more about the efficiency in Genelec's products.

So my question to Genelec is, do you have objective data, like the Crown spec sheet, to demonstrate the efficiency of Genelec products? For example, how much of the power draw is used to make sound - and not heat?

:-)

Hello!

All the specifications are listed in the operating manual of each product. There you can find the Power consumption figures for the mains voltage feed, along with specified amplifier power ratings.
