Choosing the Correct Amplification

When selecting an amplifier for use with your distributed speaker system, it is important to choose an amplifier
that has sufficient power output.
Choosing an amplifier that does not have adequate rated power may result in pushing the amp beyond its limits,
producing distortion or "clipping" of the signal. This can irritate the listener and may cause damage to the
speaker.
Choosing an amplifier that is over-powered can result in over-driving the speaker system.

Using Multiple Loudspeakers

It is important to consider the overall speaker load (impedance) when connecting distributed speaker systems to
an amplifier. Some distributed loudspeakers are marked in load impedance; others show the wattage taps.
Whatever the case, it is easy to compute the total impedance (or wattage load) that is possible for a given
amplifier.
