None of the trivia you've posted has changed that. 120V single phase at 15A from one of those ghastly bent metal connectors you use comes to 1.8kW.

Over here whether using British BS1363 connectors or the popular Schuko (German) type and its derivatives widely used throughout Europe we can draw > 3kW from a single 'wall socket' or extension lead.

Have to agree with you there. They're built more like Neves and SSLs in large sections. They have some smaller stuff now though. http://www.cadac-sound.com/frameset.asp?P=products/s-type.htm I'd wonder about the strength of something like that though. At DDA we used Aerolam (Hexlite) for the bases of the larger desks. Graham

" UL 1950/CSA 22.2 950 is applicable both in the USA and Canada. The current version is the Third Edition, which is based on the second edition, fourth amendment of IEC 950." Funny that, the new UL Standard puts a 1 in front of IEC's 950 ! http://www.i-spec.com/IEC_60950/usa_canada950.html Graham |
