Measuring and creating presets for loudspeakers. a) Very expensive and advance measurement system and logistic (anechoic chamber) is necessary for make a presets. b) Factory presets is the basics for any custom preset design and warranty. c) …. With a good equipment, growing up experience and lucky we can make a preset from the scratch.

…about loudspeaker Power Electromechanical transducers transform a significant amount of power into heat. They can accept different power level according to the time and dynamic of the signal apply. long term > 2 h (AES), better know as RMS CF < 6 dB Program– Music > 2 h (Recommended amplifier) CF > 6 dB short term < 2 s (peak / IEC268-5) CF > 12 dB Eg. Long term power 500 W AES Program, Music (Recommended amplifier) 1000 W RMS Short term power IEC 268-5 2000 W PEAK
Power Limiter Threshold W • TruePower is the preferred setting to choose when the number of speakers connected to the amplifier channel is known. Powersoft suggest a threshold of 1\3 of the power specification of the loudspeaker Eg. 750 W AES = 250 W • Equivalent power @ 8 Ohm setting all power calculations being based on an arbitrary 8 ohm load (RMS voltage limiter), unknow speaker number.
Peak limiter Threshold V • Powersoft supply a excel file for calculate it (DesignersTool_1.2.5_a.xlsx) or you can use the formula • Eg. 2000 W AES @4 ohm = 152 V NOTE: For veryheavy use (24\7 - CF < 3 dB) I suggest a 1,4 multiplier • Eg. 2000 W AES @4 ohm = 125 V
