WHAT IS THE CONTINOUS POWER?
Asked by: Anonymous
Unfortunately ElectroVoice does not offer continuous power rating in any documentation or specifications. Continuous power rating may be as little as 1/4 the peak erating in some cases. For more information please contact a Representative here at 800-606-6969 or Electro Voice for technical assistance at (866) 782-8346 or audiosupport@<a href= http://us.bosch.com target= _blank >us.bosch.com.</a>
