FAQ | The LA108 has less specified amplifier Watts than a KLA12. Does that mean that the LA108 is not as loud as a KLA12?

Learn how the power ratings of LA108 and KLA12 loudspeakers affect their sound levels.

Answer


Specified amplifier power (Watts) alone is not an indication of the maximum sound pressure level a loudspeaker is capable of producing. The KLA12 has a maximum SPL of
131 dB, however the use of a very efficient Class D amplifier together with improved-sensitivity transducers gives the LA108 an increased output of 134 dB.
