Although broadband pink noise has been the standard input signal for acoustic measurement and prediction, it rarely represents real-world content. Our MAPP XT measurements use B-Noise, a test signal created by Meyer Sound, that ensures the predictions obtained reflect system behavior under the most common input spectrum. See www.meyersound.com... - Page 24 1.7 A peak 3.10 A peak Peak Current Meyer Sound power supply is required. See the datasheet for the Meyer Sound MPS-488HP IntelligentDC External Power Supply for information and specifications. NOTES 1. Amplifier wattage rating based on the maximum unclipped burst sine- wave rms voltage the amplifier will produce for at least 0.5 s into the nominal load impedance: 30 V rms (42 V peak).
