The Broadband Indoor Distribution Amplifier with Power Doubling from Blonder Tongue is a self-contained broadband indoor power-doubling hybrid distribution amplifier with RF bandwidth ranging from 54 to 860 MHz with a 43 dB gain. Designed for CATV and SMATV signal distribution systems using cable drop as a signal source, the unit's return path bandwidth of 5 to 42 MHz is configurable to passive, which is the factory default, or integrated active return.

Attenuation over a range of 10 dB is achieved in the forward path and 18 dB in the return path. Testing without interruption of service occurs via two -30 dB back-matched test points. The aluminum chassis allows the unit to be operated at high ambient temperatures since it provides exceptional heat dissipation.

Q: 1. My speakers are rated max 380 watts RMS,is the PX5 too powerful to power my fronts?

A: No. Not too powerful. As long as the speakers are 8 ohm. 500 Watt amp is a good match for 380W speakers.

Q: 2. if this amp is connected to a stereo receiver, do the speakers connect to the amp or receiver?

A: The speakers will connect to the amp as the amp is what is providing the power to the passive speakers

Q: 3. Speakers ratings, should I take minimum or peak as reference to match my speakers to an amplifier?

A: You should take both ratings into consideration if they are provided. RMS power ratings provide a better idea of the continuous power that is provided by an amplifier or when an RMS rating is listed for a speaker, it is the amount of continuous power that a speaker can handle. Peak power ratings refer to occasional short bursts of power that an amp can provide or the amount of power in a short burst that a speaker can handle. When only peak power ratings are provided, you can determine the RMS power rating by multiplying peak power x 0.7071. For example, if an amplifier is rated at 800 watts peak power, multiply 800 x 0.7071 which equals 565.68, meaning the amp's RMS power is approximately 566 watts.
