AH5040CD INSTALLATION

Ampliﬁer Considerations

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Consult your ampliﬁer owner’s manual to conﬁrm power output at the rated impedance. Each AH5040CD exhibits an 8 ohm (nominal) impedance.

(2)AH5040CD’s paralleled will present a 4 ohm load to the ampliﬁer.

(3)AH5040CD’s paralleled will present a 2.66 ohm load to the ampliﬁer.

(4)AH5040CD’s paralleled will present a 2 ohm load to the ampliﬁer.

ATLAS SOUND speaker system speciﬁcations list RMS power handling. As a reference peak power =

RMS x 1.414.

These ratings should be considered in selecting the best ampliﬁer to power the speaker system.

For general use, ampliﬁer output should match or exceed the RMS rated power of the speaker system (250 watts for the AH5040CD).

For increased headroom and dynamic reproduction, the ampliﬁer’s output should match or exceed the peak power rating of the speaker system (354 watts for the AH5040CD).

In situations where experienced professionals are operating the speaker system with proper limiting and frequency control devices inserted into the signal path and adjusted properly, ampliﬁer output may meet, but should not exceed 2x the RMS power rating of the speaker system (500 Watts for the AH5040CD).
