Last, the "regular operating power" as defined by the safety standard IEC 65/ANSI/UL 6500 and used
by a majority of safety agencies. The regular operating power is measured by using pink noise, and with
an average output power equal to 1/8 of full power. The one eighth of the total power is as loud as you
can play music while making some attempt to avoid obvious clipping. It also corresponds to a headroom
Table 2
of 9dB, which is very low for regular audio program.

he heat power produced is the difference between the power consumption and output power:
produced in watts, in kcal per hour, and also in BTU per hour.
he efficiency can also be calculated, it being the output-power divided by the input-power:
07 watts / 1325 watts= 38%.
