      Actually... for reasons of overheating, I generally suggest 36 volt, 5 or 6 amp supplies. In this case one for each channel. The amp will run cooler, it won't trigger supply shutdowns or go into protection and the sound quality is every bit as good as at 48 volts. You only lose about 2db of headroom which is seldom an issue in normal use.

    I've noticed some tech reviewers are testing the class D amps with white noise? or multi-tones all at once, to simulate more complex music signals. Rather than just 1 constant test signal at 1khz. The results indicate that amps like the WiiM amp they measured, were great at 1khz but lost 30% of their power or more, when tested with multi-tones. This should give a better idea of how amps perform with complex signals that are more similar to music. I believe it was Erin's Audio Corner and Scientific Audiophile that discovered the WiiM amp was having problems maintaining power output with multi-tone signals. Any chance you might try multi-tone measurements, so we can get a better idea of what the amp's capable of with more demanding simulated music signals? Thanks. If not, you're still doing us a great service with your amp measurements, and it's much appreciated.

    • @Douglas_Blake_579
      @Douglas_Blake_579 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      While I agree that more rigorous testing is always a good idea, please be aware that White Noise in no way simulates a musical signal. In fact it is a torture signal we use to see what it takes to kill an amplifier.
      White Noise is random frequencies all at full power. Music doesn't even get close to that level of stress. The same for "multitone" tests... fixed frequencies at full power.
      Typically music decreases in level with frequency being most powerful at bass frequencies, tapering down to a mere fraction at 8khz (See the Fletcher-Munson "Equal Loudness" curves).. Also be aware that the highest note on the musical scale (C8) is only at 4189hz. Above that all content is harmonic, existing mostly as low level bursts of sound. There is almost no content over about 12000hz.
      So a music simulation would be a frequency limited random level test that is EQed down a curved slope to 0 at 12000hz. I've yet to see any of these so called scientific reviewers using anything even remotely like that.
      If you don't believe me... get some spectrum analyser software for your phone or PC and look at the display while music plays...
      Also note that SA's own reference amplifier failed his white noise test, going into protection after a couple of hours where the V3M got blistering hot but kept on playing. His mission to make these mini-amps look bad isn't working out very well for him.

    NICE TEST! I am surprised at the 2-ohm wattage. I am working with a Fosi Audio BT 20A Pro (the one you tested). It hated 48v (8-amp booster installed) with a 4-ohm load. It went into shut down mode when things started to get "fun". So, I swapped it with a 36v (10-amp) booster and it hasn't gone into "shut down" mode and makes good power. Hmm. Overall, I like the BT 20A Pro for my portable speaker builds. It really has great sound and BT connectivity vs Douk and Nobsounds. This Fosi V3 Mono is def interesting too. 48v (10-amp) AC/DC adapters cost about as much as the amplifiers themselves if you can find one that isn't junk. Thank you for doing tests on these mini digital chip amps. What you do is AWESOME!

It’s a lot beefier. I run these builds at full volume on huge bike rides in Houston. Don’t ask, it’s a Houston thing. Lol. The amp never shuts down due to thermal overload.

The sound quality and ability to power the speakers were incredible. Unfortunately Fosi change the greeting tone to an Asian lady voice saying "Bluetooth mode".

    Is there a better low cost amp for a passive sub? I realize this would need either DSP or a $18 low-pass filter. This is $106 on Ali Express with 48v 5a supply. The Fosi M0-3 is $70, but is 1/2 the real watts based on this channel's testing.

    Great video! I was just looking into them last night as they sent me an email to the Kickstarter link. I bought the OG V3 to run a pair of rear height speakers off my Denon X3800, as I have 9 running off the internal amps with 2 more channels available for processing. I'm considering 3 of these for front LCR as my speakers can handle much more than they're getting. What I'm wondering now is if it would be better to get the 48v/5a power supply they offer for each instead of sharing a 48v/10a on 2. Thanks for the video though!

    • @Douglas_Blake_579
      @Douglas_Blake_579 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The entire concept of a monoblock is that it should be a fully isolated amplifier. Separate electronics, separate power supplies, separate signal paths. When you start Y connecting them, you re-introduce differing load effects on the power supply and all the noise and crosstalk that implies.
      Having studied the TPA3255 chip pretty thoroughly I would advise that your best bet with an amplifier in a closed casing (even if the case is the heat sink) is to use dual 36 volt 5 or 6 amp power bricks with them. They will run cooler, they won't trip into overcurrent or protection and you're only losing about 2db of output, which would be barely noticeable.

      not really. doesn't make rated power (as usual) and plus most people are going to use these inside @8ohms ...maybe 6?
      now if it actually made 300 usable watts, full bandwidth, less than1% distortion at 8 ohms, then it would have been slightly interesting. oh and plus it was kicking the overcurrent protection and shutting off. i'd consider that a fail. so really it was only good for the 8 ohm rating anyway. unless you want to buy another one of those power supplies. prob adds another $75. but you don't really need it anyway because no house speakers are 4 ohms.

  • @brunobassi2440

    Tpa 3255 allows 20-25 watts (clean) with a distortion of less than 0.1% even at 20 kHz at 4 Hom and 8 Hom.
    The power is bigger but if you want a good hi-fi it is about 25 watts because beyond it gets dirty like all class D.

      He is doing resistive test. Which put a way bigger load on the PSU than music, which is transient. I doubt people would really max the 5amp/amp setup. And it you really need 300w+ of power, these might not be the product for you.

    • @Douglas_Blake_579
      @Douglas_Blake_579 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Unless you are hell bent on bursting your eardrums most of your listening probably happens at less than 5 watts with occasional peaks to 20 or 30 watts. So, for most people the 32 volt 5 amp supply will be just fine. If you are a bit nuts and want "concert hall" levels in your living room I would recommend, a pair of 36 volt 5 amp supplies.
      The problem with the 48 volt supplies is heat... a fully enclosed case like these mini-amps use will get blistering hot inside on 48 volts.
