Basic Question about Power Cables

On the back of your amp it should state the voltage and current draw - it should say something like "120 V 15 A". V = Volts, A = Amps.

It may, alternatively, have something like "120 V, 600 Watts". Since Watts = Volts * Amps, divide the Watts by the Volts and you get the Amps - 600/120 = 5 amps...

-RW-

The above all assumes you're in the US with 120V supply. If you're elsewhere with a different mains voltage, make sure you use that figure for any calculations.

That said, your amp is unlikely to draw anywhere near 15amp; that would be 1800 Watts, assuming a 120V mains voltage.

Ah ok, thanks a lot ET and RW

And yes, I do live in the U.S. Thanks for the clarification as well Carl

Hi Guys,

please visit www.lessloss.com and get the cords - I have just done it and they made my Valhalla sound sick!!!
I was luck because the factory is only 50 miles from my house so actually the owner Louis Mortek came round in person and we
had a great session yesterday - I can send pics if you want =
I was also able to try the Firewall which is a unit that get rid of the crap from the wall outlet/sustations/power sataions etc it just took the music to a different level and I nearly cried when he packed it up because it will not be released till next month at the show in Colorado -

Hope this help

Paul
