I forgot to mention that if you had the voltage switch set to 240 volt you would also be plugged into a 240 volt outlet!
dedicated power receptacles for mono blocks?
I'm guessing it makes no difference, but with dedicated outlets feeding mono blocks, that is one dedicated outlet for amp 1 and 1 dedicated outlet for amp 2, does it make a difference if you are on the same panel phase? Perhaps if you are on opposite phases you could have a ground loop? Or, would the amps be "in-sync" if on the same phase and "out of sync" on the opposite phase? Perhaps it is no different than if you had the 120 volt selector switch on an amp (assuming you had that switch) set to 240 volt.
I don't have mono blocks nor do I plan on getting any, the thought just popped into my head and I thought I'd ask. And forgive me if the question isn't exactly making sense. I'm not an electrical engineer or electrician! Just hoping you kind of get what I'm getting at.

@noromance has it exactly correct - pick and stick to one leg of the panel when creating n > 1 dedicated home run audio power lines to your panel. IF at all possible in that adventure put all motors and inverters on the opposite leg. I normally start with all the digital stuff on a dedicated line with a Furman or better Power Conditioning… and then move the DAC between that circuit and the all analog leg to hear which is better…often the DAC designed by people who understand the value of a proper Faraday cage AND Galvanic isolation end up living on the better sounding analog side… just my $1.50 |
