Buying A Couple Of Efficient Cordless Loudspeakers

By Michelle Jaeger


When you are ready to acquire brand new cordless speakers, you may be asking yourself how efficiently your cordless speakers function. I'm going to show you precisely what the term "power efficiency" means and also why you should take a closer look at this figure in your selection of new wireless speakers.

A fairly large amount of energy is dissipated as heat should you get a pair of low-efficiency wireless speakers. This can trigger a few problems: A great deal of squandered power obviously means higher operating cost which means that a more pricey pair of wireless speakers can actually in the long run possibly be more affordable compared to a less costly model which has lower efficiency. Lower efficiency cordless speakers will dissipate a lot of energy as heat. Cordless loudspeakers with low efficiency routinely have various heat sinks in order to help dissipate the squandered power. Heat sinks and fans are heavy, consume space and also generate noise. To help radiate heat, low-power-efficiency amps need to have sufficient air circulation. Thus they can not be put in places without circulation. In addition, they can not be installed inside water-resistant enclosures.

Considering that low-efficiency cordless loudspeakers will provide only a small percentage of the energy consumed by the amplifier as useful audio energy, the amplifier requires a bigger power source than high-efficiency types causing more expensive. An elevated amount of heat leads to extra stress on elements. The life expectancy of the wireless speakers may be decreased and reliability could be compromised. High-efficiency cordless speakers however don't experience these issues and may be constructed small.

What's less well-known about efficiency is the fact that this figure is not fixed. In reality it differs based on how much energy the amp provides. For that reason sometimes you'll find efficiency figures for different power levels within the data sheet. Amps possess higher efficiency while supplying higher output power than when working at low power due to the fixed power that they use up regardless of the output power. The efficiency figure in the amplifier data sheet is usually given for the maximum amp output power.

In order to determine the power efficiency, the audio energy that is consumed by a power resistor that is attached to the amp is divided by the overall power the amp consumes whilst being fed a constant sine wave signal. To obtain a full power efficiency profile, the audio power of the amp is swept between different values. At every value the efficiency is assessed and plotted onto a graph.

Cordless speakers that make use of switching-mode amps contain a switching stage that causes a certain amount of non-linear behavior. Thus cordless loudspeakers that use Class-D amps normally have smaller music fidelity than types using analog Class-A amps. Subsequently you will need to base your buying decision on whether you require small size and low energy usage or greatest music fidelity. Some newer wireless speakers, just like models that have Class-T amps, can lessen music distortion to levels close to those of models using analog music amps and in addition are able to achieve great signal-to-noise ratio. Picking one of these wireless loudspeakers will offer great efficiency and at the same time high audio fidelity.
