Can I run my 8 ohm speaker or my 16 ohm speaker with the PowerStage amps?

 

• Yes, but the power output changes as the speaker load changes.
  • PowerStage 170: 85 watts at 8 ohms, 43 watts at 16 ohms
  • PowerStage 200: 100 watts at 8 ohms, 50 watts at 16 ohms
    • • Note: PowerStage 200 has two speaker jacks wired in parallel. The total ohm load should not be less than 4 ohms. You can use two 8 ohm speakers cabs, which will be a 4 ohm load, or two 16 ohm cabs, which will be an 8 ohm load. Two 4 ohm cabs will result in a 2 ohm load, which can potentially damage the PowerStage 200 or speakers.
  • PowerStage 100s (per side): 50 watts at 8 ohms, 25 watts at 16 ohms
    • • Note: PowerStage 100s has a Left Speaker out and a Right Speaker out. The total ohm load per speaker out should not be less than 4 ohms. You can chain two 8 ohm speakers cabs in parallel per output, which will be a 4 ohm load, or two 16 ohm cabs, which will be an 8 ohm load.
  • PowerStage 700 (per side): 350 watts at 8 ohms, 175 watts at 16 ohms
    • • Note: PowerStage 700 has a Left Speaker out and a Right Speaker out. The total ohm load per speaker out should not be less than 4 ohms. You can chain two 8 ohm speakers cabs in parallel per output, which will be a 4 ohm load, or two 16 ohm cabs, which will be an 8 ohm load.
