The LP Series is a totally new switch-mode technology, Compared to a conventional amplifier, switch mode technology offers very high efficiency and delivers more power to the loudspeakers with much reduced dissipation of heat. Greater efficiency in this case enables dimensions, weights and power consumption to be reduced. The output stages of the amplifiers typically run at 95% efficiency, dissipating only 5% of the input power as heat. One of the most interesting characteristics is that LP’s efficiency is almost independent to output level, while conventional amplifiers achieve their best efficiency only at full rated power output. Since standard music has an average power density of 40% of the maximum level, conventional amplifiers can easily generate 10 times more heat than LP for the same amount of sound.
