Power Requirements
One of the biggest challenges when interpreting loudspeaker specifications can often be knowing what power is required to run your system and whether the venue has sustainable electrical output.
Avoid electrical outages, output issues and disappointing your clients by learning what your system requires and being prepared in advance.
Systems for a 20 Amp Circuit
When first booking a gig, it’s critical to ask key questions about the electrical output at the venue. Most modern event spaces operate on a 20 Amp Circuit but it’s important to confirm to avoid outages.
Once the amp circuit is confirmed – you can better plan how to set up your stage for the performance.
Load Distribution
The best way to combat limited electrical availability is to distribute your electronics accordingly.
