Creating a system you love shouldn't be difficult. The Acoustic Frontiers blog is here to help.
Long term over-voltage events are generally rare but when they occur can be damaging.
Undersized distribution infrastructure coupled with periods of high demand can lead to utility companies increasing voltages so that the power required can be supplied.
In some rural areas utilities will leave capacitor banks in during periods of low demand (i.e. on the weekend and holidays) which can lead to higher than normal voltages.
Regulated linear power supplies will dissipate more heat in an over-voltage situation causing potential equipment overheating. High voltages can also cause breakdown of electronic components such as capacitors operating close to their rated voltage in the unregulated supplies typically found in amplifiers.
Home Theater Design. Scope of Work: Home theater layout, optimal placement of subwoofers, and ensuring optimal video viewing angles and sight lines. Additionally, we advised on baffle wall and riser designs and acoustic treatment design.
“We built this home theater so I could watch all of my favorite movies. It’s just a better experience overall. I wanted it to look better than anything possible, other than what you can see at the studio." Travis C.
