A power amplifier, also known as a power amp, is a device that raises a line level signal to speaker level. The signal coming into a power amp is often very weak, but the power amplifier circuitry amplifies it greatly, allowing it to drive your speakers. When you’re looking for a power amp for your PA rig, it’s better to choose a power amplifier with more power than the peak power of your speakers, since most blown and damaged speakers are the result of pushing an under-powered power amp into clipping. Use a power amplifier that delivers twice the program power rating of your speaker to make sure you have enough headroom to minimize risk to your speakers.
