1. Continuous power (rated power)

Continuous, long-term or RMS (RMS) power (the test signal lasts for more than 1 hour), which is also called continuous pink noise power (when using pink noise), long-term sine wave sweep power (when using sine sweep), and the lowest safe power value is given at the final test point.

2. Program power

Program or music power (test signal with music characteristics, about 1 second), which is also called continuous program power.

3. Peak power

Peak or instantaneous power (test signal is short term, less than 0.1 second), this test gives the highest power value, which is 6dB higher than continuous/long-term/RMS power (four times of rated power).
