What is 1000W PMPO?

PMPO is usually written as “watts PMPO” on packaging, as power output of speakers is measured in watts. So a speaker that has 1000W PMPO essentially means that the speaker is capable of putting out 1000W of power for a momentary amount of time, which could be microseconds.

What does PMPO output power mean?

Peak music power output (or PMPO) is a term that is used mostly to advertise the quality of sound that is expelled from amplifiers. It is not quite a defined term; however, it is thought to be the sum of the peak power that the amplifiers use in any sound system.

Which is better RMS or PMPO?

RMS is a voltage that is putting to the speaker in Constance way, without worry of sound quality or speakers damage. PMPO is the highest power at the highest voltage, at the speaker that least less than second. PMPO is a marketing symbol, because it’s much nicer for producers to put some big numbers.

What is PMPO and RMS?

PMPO = Peak Music Power Output / Peak Momentary Power Output RMS = Root Mean Square.

What does PMPO stand for in power output?

Since no musical note lasts for such a short amount of time this peak performance cannot be reproduced in real usage of the speaker. The PMPO value is often seen listed as “watts PMPO” on product packaging. PMPO is also called peak music power output.

What’s the difference between PMPO and Peak momentary power?

PMPO is not to be confused with peak momentary power output (which shares the same acronym). They have two separate specifications, and are therefore measured differently. As such, the two cannot be transferred between each other, i.e. you cannot convert peak music power output to peak momentary power output.

What’s the difference between PMPO and RMS power rating?

PMPO is meant to warn you that you can only use this much power for a short amount of time. The power output limit should be used in intervals rather than at a continuous rate like the RMS. If the PMPO is sustained for long periods of time, then it could damage your speakers or amplifier.

How many Watts Does a PMPO speaker have?

If the whole of the above argument does not still seem convincing enough to ditch PMPO ratings, here is a simple scenario. Most of the multimedia speaker systems come with a power unit which provides 1 Ampere of current at 12 Volts DC, which means 12 Watts of power is available from the power unit.
