Room Acoustics THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS The SA1530z loudspeakers are designed to sound as neutral as possible; that is, to reproduce the input signal as accurately as possible. The SA1530z has three powerful built-in amplifiers capable of producing a combined 1300 watts of power. As amplifiers produce heat, it is important to dissipate the heat as quickly as possible. This results in increased reliability and longevity for the amplifier.
