Class D power amp question

John_A

I have a Behringer nx3000 power amp, the specs give power in to 2,4 and 8 ohms, am I ok to run this in to a 16 ohm cab?

Any idea @ICBM ?

Most class D amps are fine with no load at all as the feedback pulse width is adjusted to suit load .... lighter 16 Ohm load means less current and switching ratio is adjusted to suit

Have to say Behringer don't always follow good design strategies  though  ....seen some aweful class D Behringer amps

So that's Yes, probably, maybe not

That's what I thought too - Cheers

Sorry, late to this - but yes, it *should* be fine. If in doubt, you need a 16-ohm load box to run in parallel which will bring it down to 8 ohms.
