This type of measurement is based on tests using a continuous sine-wave signal. "Maximum output power" is defined in the British Standards in this sense and should be considered British usage. "Continuous power" and "RMS power" may also refer to input power capacity of a loudspeaker. Sometimes the requirement that all channels should operate is ignored. "RMS power" and "rms power output" have been described as improper terms (cf. Audio, no. 62(6), 1978, p. 30).  5, record 1, English, - continuous%20output%20power

In Great Britain, "power capacity" is defined as being that level of power at which waveform clipping begins to develop, while "maximum output power" is defined as "the maximum measured output power(as opposed to "rated output power" :"the power that the manufacturer claims") that the amplifier can deliver continuously to a stated load resistance at a frequency of 1000 Hz without exceeding a specified value of harmonic distortion"(cf. EAAUD, 1972, p. 36, and BSI-3860 : 1965, p. 6). Maximum power output "is commonly taken as the power yield prior to the onset of waveform clipping or when the THD(=total harmonic distortion) is at a specified value".(cf. EAAUD, 1972, p. 13).  4, record 2, English, - maximum%20output

The power output can be enhanced by connecting two transistors in parallel or by using the push-pull connection. In the latter method, the two transistors are so connected that the collector current in one transistor falls when that in the other transistor rises. The distinct advantage of the push-pull operation over the parallel connection is that the symmetry of the circuit in the former operation eliminates the even-order harmonic distortion.  2, record 3, English, - push%2Dpull%20operation

A common measurement is total harmonic distortion(thd) where the fundamental of a very low distortion sine-wave test signal is removed by a steep notch filter. The summed harmonics that remain are then measured as a voltage of the fundamental at the required test power of the amplifier.(When measured in this manner the term thd is not really correct since the distortion also has the amplifier noise added to it within the test passband. The correct term is distortion factor).(GRAEL, 1977, p. 326).  3, record 12, English, - distortion%20factor
