Hi all,
so i've been trying to figure out am i using full potential of my speakers. But the more i was reading about my equipment, the more i went into details, i got more and more confused. I don't quite understand the way all this works.
So i have 2x Sharp CP-S7700 mk2 250W speakers, connected via AUX cable to an amp, Technics SU-V500M2, to my pc. I've connected it to my mobo (MSI Z97 gaming 3) which has this Audio Boost 2 tech. Now im pretty sure im not using half the power these speakers have, but they are still pretty loud.
So i've been trying to calculate the power im sending to my speakers, but i don't understand the way this "pc-to-speakers" connection really works. What is happening where? And in my amps specs it says the power output is 30W + 30W, what does that mean?
I went with logic that i just sum up power outputs. I mean for example if my mobo has 15W power output, and it goes to amp, which is 30W, is it 15+30W that's being send to speakers? Or is it those 45W / 2 for each speaker? And how does that apply with 250W of my each speaker?
I've noticed that if turn the volume up on my amp over 50%, the sound gets more and more distorted. I assume the sound wouldn't get distorted if i had stronger amp?
Sorry for so many questions, but i'm really trying to understand all of this :).
