Hi Beoworld Forum.
Can anybody explain to me how I should understand the ICEpower based Beolabs power ratings.
Look at the Beolab 7.2.
Power Consumption typical 20 W (standby 0.3 W) but the 6 built in ICEpower amplifiers delivers all together 750 W’s.
Input = Output plus heat loss
20 W = 750 W plus heat loss ???
B&O don't seem to rate in RMS, sounds like peak 1ms to me. No way class D "makes" more power than it draws, unless they're defying physics
Granted class D is more efficient than AB or A; electronics laws still apply. Also no frggin way BL5 are 2.5kW continuous using 500va transfos!
Hi Davidr.
I fully agree.
Would like engineers from B&O to explain this mystery
