I'm looking at an amplifier that states the following input sensitivity in the specifications
Input Sensitivity @ 8ohm = 3.61 V
Input Sensitivity @ 4ohm = 3.40 V
Input Sensitivity @ 2ohm = 3.17 V
elsewhere in the manual it references a gain switch which is described as
When the gain switch is on 1Vrms, the input sensitivity of the amplifier 1Vrms.
When it is on 32dB, the amplification gain range is within 32dB.
When it is on 26dB, the amplification gain range is within 26dB.
I don't understand the difference between these values (and the manufacturer is unresponsive to queries) & wonder what does the 1st set of values refers to. Any ideas?
My reason to ask is to determine whether my processor is putting out sufficient power to drive a 4ohm load & a difference between 1V and 3.4V seems fairly large.
