What is programme power?

Programme power is an archaic term dating back to when power tests used sine waves. Many manufacturers, including D.A.S. Audio, apply a convention whereby programme power is twice the average (“RMS”) power, although other manufacturers may use different power ratios, which may even vary from product to product. Nowadays the term “programme power” has no specific meaning, although it might be used as a power amplifier recommendation for controlled applications.
