The short-term power available from an amplifier for the reproduction of program material. The music power output exceeds the rms power rating to a greater or lesser extent. Its measurement is standardized by the Institute of High Fidelity (IHF) and represents a practical means of stating the actual capabilities of an amplifier for the reproduction of program material. 2, record 1, English, - music%20power%20output

This concept has been replaced in the new IHF standard (IHF-A-202, 1978) with that of "dynamic headroom rating". (cf. AUDIO 62(6), 1978, p. 32). 5, record 1, English, - music%20power%20output

Puissance d'un amplificateur qui se calcule en fonction de la dynamique (...). Soit, le rapport entre les pianissimo et fortissimo. La puissance moyenne se situant entre les deux et en admettant un certain taux de distorsion (la moyenne audible d'un taux de distorsion est de 5%!), affectant les fortissimo sur un temps très court (pratiquement inaudible), on trouve une puissance musicale supérieure d'environ 20% à 30% à la puissance efficace. 1, record 1, French, - puissance%20musicale

On a proposé dans une nouvelle norme IHF (1978) de remplacer cette notion par celle de la capacité de surcharge en dB d'un ampli. (cf. NOSON, 22, 1978, p. 276). 2, record 1, French, - puissance%20musicale

The power that an amplifier (with both channels working, when stereo) is capable of delivering on a music type signal. Output is rated in watts into a specified load value and the test signal is sometimes an interrupted sinewave signal (i.e., tone bursts). 2, record 2, English, - music%20power

This concept appears closely related to that of "music power output" (q.v.). 3, record 2, English, - music%20power

Puissance dynamique (...): indique habituellement la somme de puissance des deux canaux stéréo, sans souvent indiquer le taux de distorsion. Cette puissance est donc de valeur douteuse. Cependant le taux de puissance dynamique donne une indication de la puissance disponible temporairement lorsque l'amplificateur reproduit des pointes de volume de la musique. 1, record 2, French, - puissance%20dynamique
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cette notion semble avoir un lien étroit avec celle de "puissance musicale". 2, record 2, French, - puissance%20dynamique
