What do speaker power and sensitivity mean?

Power: The power of a speaker refers to the maximum power output it can withstand. Usually expressed in units of watts (W). Higher power means the speaker can produce stronger sound over a wider volume range. When choosing the speaker power suitable for your scene, you need to consider the size and purpose of the venue. Generally speaking, larger performance venues may require higher wattage speakers, while smaller scenes may require lower wattage speakers.

Sensitivity: The sensitivity of a speaker refers to the sound level that the speaker can produce when receiving the same input power. It is usually expressed in units of decibels (dB). Higher sensitivity means the speaker can produce higher sound levels with lower input power. When choosing speaker sensitivity, you need to consider the noise level of the venue and the volume of the desired sound.

Venue size: Large venues may require speakers with higher power to ensure coverage and volume requirements. Smaller venues may be suitable for lower powered speakers.

Purpose: The power and sensitivity of a speaker also depend on its purpose. For example, concerts and large events often require high-power and high-sensitivity speakers, while smaller performances and conference rooms can use speakers with lower power and sensitivity.

Volume requirements: Determine the volume level of the required sound to determine whether the selected speaker power can meet the requirements. For example, loud music performances often require high-powered speakers to produce sufficient volume.

Sound quality requirements: Not only do you need to consider power and sensitivity, but you also need to ensure that the speakers you choose can provide the required sound quality. Higher power does not necessarily mean better sound quality, so it's important to fully evaluate and listen to the speaker's performance and sound quality.

Take Sinbosen speakers as an example

KA-1 and KA-2 have high volume output and carrying capacity, and can provide powerful and deep bass performance. Ideal for large indoor and outdoor events such as concerts, concerts, large-scale performances, etc. It can meet the music needs of the scene and ensure that the music has extensive and strong coverage at the event site.

KA-3 and KA208 line arrays have smaller output capabilities and sensitivity, and are suitable for some small and medium-sized indoor and outdoor activities, such as small parties and performances, etc., bringing a better live sound experience.
