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 lowerpower 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.
