Power ratings should include harmonic distortion unit, the load impedance (4, 8, or 16 ohms). For example: Continuous output power 40 W/40 W (at less than 1% harmonic distortion, into 8 ohm load). 2, record 1, English, - continuous%20output%20power
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
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
