Amplifier power calculator.
Add up what your speakers will draw, then size the amplifier with the headroom a PA system actually needs.
01 Calculate
Size it before you specify.
Total connected load is simply the number of speakers multiplied by the wattage each one draws. The amplifier then needs to sit above that figure — we use 20 to 30 percent, the same margin our guides recommend — so it is never running flat out.
- Total speaker load
- 200 W 20 speakers
- Minimum amplifier
- 240 W Load + 20% headroom
- Recommended amplifier
- 260 W Load + 30% headroom

The calculator provides an estimated amplifier requirement. Final system design should consider speaker configuration, impedance, line losses, headroom, installation conditions and other system requirements.
