So my old speakers have pmpo rating of 140 W .
How much that is when it comes to compare it to rms.
Are 14 Watt RMS higher or lower then that ?
Thanks for the info,
Cheers,
 
PMPO is a useless measure.
RMS is a useful standard.
PMPO means the speaker can handle that wattage for a very small time, microsecond.
RMS is measured over a longer time and is more accurate way of measuring the output.
PMPO is marketing to make an inferior item look better than it actually is.

I know that, i am asking for the conversion rate because i have speakers which doesn't have rms rating only pmpo one.
 
one is a made up number the other is a measure of actual use.
you cannot compare dollars to neptunian credits. one is real the other is imaginary.

PMPO is a useless measure, as such my headphones can handle 1000W PMPO for a millisecond that does not make them 1000W capable.
pull a number out of the air and add PMPO and you are technically right, any number.
 
There isn't a conversion. Likely the RMS is not good and they didn't want to advertise it.

I know all of that. But i do not want to buy weaker speakers then i already have.
Is 140W pmpo higher or lower then 14W rms ?
