Amplifier Selection Considerations
•How much power is needed (less powerful amplifiers can be used if you don’t
need all the SPL the speaker is capable of producing. However, pushing a lower-
power amplifier into clipping can damage the speaker).
•How much DSP and which DSP functions are required.
•Whether the amp needs to be networked (DCi-N).
•Project’s budget.
