[@geevee1045]

I've noticed some tech reviewers are testing the class D amps with white noise? or multi-tones all at once, to simulate more complex music signals. Rather than just 1 constant test signal at 1khz. The results indicate that amps like the WiiM amp they measured, were great at 1khz but lost 30% of their power or more, when tested with multi-tones. This should give a better idea of how amps perform with complex signals that are more similar to music. I believe it was Erin's Audio Corner and Scientific Audiophile that discovered the WiiM amp was having problems maintaining power output with multi-tone signals. Any chance you might try multi-tone measurements, so we can get a better idea of what the amp's capable of with more demanding simulated music signals? Thanks. If not, you're still doing us a great service with your amp measurements, and it's much appreciated.

[@Douglas_Blake_579]

While I agree that more rigorous testing is always a good idea, please be aware that White Noise in no way simulates a musical signal. In fact it is a torture signal we use to see what it takes to kill an amplifier. White Noise is random frequencies all at full power. Music doesn't even get close to that level of stress. The same for "multitone" tests... fixed frequencies at full power. Typically music decreases in level with frequency being most powerful at bass frequencies, tapering down to a mere fraction at 8khz (See the Fletcher-Munson "Equal Loudness" curves).. Also be aware that the highest note on the musical scale (C8) is only at 4189hz. Above that all content is harmonic, existing mostly as low level bursts of sound. There is almost no content over about 12000hz. So a music simulation would be a frequency limited random level test that is EQed down a curved slope to 0 at 12000hz. I've yet to see any of these so called scientific reviewers using anything even remotely like that. If you don't believe me... get some spectrum analyser software for your phone or PC and look at the display while music plays... Also note that SA's own reference amplifier failed his white noise test, going into protection after a couple of hours where the V3M got blistering hot but kept on playing. His mission to make these mini-amps look bad isn't working out very well for him.

[@NightshiftCustom]

that's what the 40hz test tone is for it will load an amp down much more then 1khz

[@thegoatcatcher]

Thanks for the review. Fosi used to make a 200 watt bluetooth amp (1002t) and a 2.1 200 watt amp. I was using them in Bluetooth speaker (boombox) builds. The sound quality and ability to power the speakers were incredible. Unfortunately Fosi change the greeting tone to an Asian lady voice saying "Bluetooth mode". I wish Fosi went back to making those amps. The current ones(clones) on E-Bay (not Fosi) are hit and miss with sound quality and feedback noise when no music is playing. Big D, please consider review the Djanguo amps, especially the S350HS.

[@XX-121]

not really. doesn't make rated power (as usual) and plus most people are going to use these inside @8ohms ...maybe 6? now if it actually made 300 usable watts, full bandwidth, less than1% distortion at 8 ohms, then it would have been slightly interesting. oh and plus it was kicking the overcurrent protection and shutting off. i'd consider that a fail. so really it was only good for the 8 ohm rating anyway. unless you want to buy another one of those power supplies. prob adds another $75. but you don't really need it anyway because no house speakers are 4 ohms.

[@racer30ryan]

For mono amps, can you run tests with 40hz or less test signal? It would be interesting to see how power is effected?

[@volcanicxb]

Great video! I was just looking into them last night as they sent me an email to the Kickstarter link. I bought the OG V3 to run a pair of rear height speakers off my Denon X3800, as I have 9 running off the internal amps with 2 more channels available for processing. I'm considering 3 of these for front LCR as my speakers can handle much more than they're getting. What I'm wondering now is if it would be better to get the 48v/5a power supply they offer for each instead of sharing a 48v/10a on 2. Thanks for the video though!

[@Douglas_Blake_579]

The entire concept of a monoblock is that it should be a fully isolated amplifier. Separate electronics, separate power supplies, separate signal paths. When you start Y connecting them, you re-introduce differing load effects on the power supply and all the noise and crosstalk that implies. Having studied the TPA3255 chip pretty thoroughly I would advise that your best bet with an amplifier in a closed casing (even if the case is the heat sink) is to use dual 36 volt 5 or 6 amp power bricks with them. They will run cooler, they won't trip into overcurrent or protection and you're only losing about 2db of output, which would be barely noticeable.

[@tlinrin887]

It's funny that they send that adapter for the power supply, the big advantage on a hifi mono block is you get separate power supplys, running both amps on a single powe supply is the equivalent to a stereo amplifier.

[@NightshiftCustom]

@@j.r.3644 there is lots of high end amps made with separate power supplies for L and R channels it's nothing new

@@j.r.3644 Discrete generators on separate continents, you mean. One power supply is fine, so long as it's big enough. The one they sent isn't.

[@Douglas_Blake_579]

@@j.r.3644 Nope ... the trick is to have two separate sets of resevoir caps. The caps store energy for transients and deep bass. They can share AC, even AC cords so long as the DC outputs are isolated from one another.

[@mattmiller4978]

Important to note shared power supplies are an option. Another option is separate 48/5 GaN power supplies.

[@Douglas_Blake_579]

@@mattmiller4978 Actually... for reasons of overheating, I generally suggest 36 volt, 5 or 6 amp supplies. In this case one for each channel. The amp will run cooler, it won't trigger supply shutdowns or go into protection and the sound quality is every bit as good as at 48 volts. You only lose about 2db of headroom which is seldom an issue in normal use.

[@Laz_Arus]

Thanks for the testing. Much appreciated. 👍 This has confirmed my choice of ordering a pair a few weeks back but with separate 48/5A supplies. Perhaps I should have opted for 2 x 48/10A supplies? Regardless, I'm looking forward to adding them to my system to allow me the time to overhaul my Hafler XL600, which I've been running from new many many many years ago. I'm really curious to see how these modern Class D amps stack up against my Hafler.

[@wal]

I think with music two of the 5A supplies would be more than enough and the included “pseudo” 10A power supply would be sufficient as well. The load tests I do are much harder on the amp and power supplies than music

[@user-pg8db8yj3e]

Amazing , so small and a lot of power. I have Sony home receiver from late 80s , 120wrms at 8ohms and 235wrms at 4ohms , and it would take about 50 or more of the Fosi amps to equal its size , unbelievable .

[@AdamsOlympia]

I was initially on board, but I've recently had second thoughts about picking V3 Mono over ZA3 for my 7.1 surround amp needs. It's twice the cost per 2 channels, runs much hotter due to the smaller case, so may not last as long. Advantage is 4 or 5 watts higher RMS -- and a theoretically cleaner signal if running separate PSUs, but the ZA3 already provides more than enough power headroom and noise is inaudible to me, even pushing it hard all day. I'm glad this option exists though - I'll probably get a single V3 M for the center channel. But ZA3 in Stereo provides far more value for the dollar for front/back and height L/R channels. You'd be hard pressed to find any all-in-one AV receiver for under $2000 that would have as much clean power, with no clipping, feedback or crossbleed , as these Fosi's paired with an Emotiva basx mc1 surround processor.

[@stevenlawrence2232]

I've had 2 za3's for a couple of months that I've been using to power Atmos heights on my Yamaha RXA-3070. The system is bass managed at 100hz for my KEF egg satellites used as the heights, so hardly putting a load on the ZA3's, but they sound great and transparent. I tried them also with 1 as monoblock 1 as stereo for the LCR as well. I felt after room correction was run they more or less disappeared in the system as well in that role but just had the slightest feeling in the back of the mind that maybe it wasn't as dynamic as the Yamaha amps. The za3 does have a slightly laid back sound, more Marantzish perhaps? So the difference might not be as apparent in combination with other brands. As as a result I moved them but did I have to? Not really. As you say 4 channels of amplification at such a price is great value. So you may as well implement them that way

Great vid as always, just want to point out measuring amps on the ac input of power bricks might not give correct results if the brick does not have active PFC. This is easy to check for power factor or comparing the VA and watts readings on the kill-a-watt meter under load. If it's wildly different, it means it doesn't have APFC and the watts reading should be used.

Pretty sure it's the PSU that is maxed out. Since they don't shut down used one at a time and with more power. So the barrel connector is not at fault here.. I do think it's a good idea to change the power cable between the PSU and the amp, removing connectors in the path.

Unless you are hell bent on bursting your eardrums most of your listening probably happens at less than 5 watts with occasional peaks to 20 or 30 watts. So, for most people the 32 volt 5 amp supply will be just fine. If you are a bit nuts and want "concert hall" levels in your living room I would recommend, a pair of 36 volt 5 amp supplies.

You would need a 12,5A ps to get the most out of a 2 amp setup.

[@joeyjustin6895]

3:15. YA. BUT THE PS SITS ON FLOOR SO DOESNT MATTER SIZE

[@88zpeedy]

Why did u test with xlr,? but the input mode u left it on rca mode

[@wal]

I tested with RCA, tried my CD’s with XLR and the Sony unit

[@richardhopkins9493]

Not sure why I can’t order two of the V3 I go to the site where it sends me. And there is no place to order from. I am talking about the monoblock amps

[@wal]

Here is a link to 2 of the V3 mono amps plus the same power supply I showed. Remember, this is a pre-order and these won't ship until around June - www.kickstarter.com/projects/fosiaudio/fosi-audio-v3-mono-power-amplifier/rewards#reward-UmV3YXJkLVVtVjNZWEprTFRrNE9EQTJORGs9

[@richardhopkins9493]

@@wal thank you you are the best. I’ve been wanting to do a set of mono blocks and just never did it.

[@gearamihai2782]

if you give it 54-56v it can give arround 400-450w

[@Douglas_Blake_579]

The rated Absolute Maximum for the TPA3255 is 53 volts. What you're most likely to get is a few seconds of loud noise followed by eternal silence.

Fosi is fum!!!

[@robsorgdrager8477]

Seems like the power supply is a limitation. I wonder why they short the supply like that.

[@satanvinny7282]

How much the price v3 ?

[@purplehazeffc]

I think these would be great to set up a 7.1.4 Atmos home theatre. One V3 mono per speaker, so 11 amps. You will get great power & still be much cheaper than using stereo or a home theatre amps. So maybe $1500 all up for amps. A Sparky to install some power sockets.

[@XX-121]

👎 just get a receiver and plug it in. you won't need an electrician and won't look like a goober with a bunch of those things and a stack of brick sized power supplies :smh:

[@purplehazeffc]

@@XX-121 A receiver with 11ch of amplification would only have 40-50 clean watts of power. Using these will give so, so much better sound & dynamics, which is exactly what you want for home theatre use. You will get better sound separation of the channels. Are you the guy that uses head unit for your front speakers?? Cause they state they have 50w x 4 power??

[@XX-121]

@@purplehazeffc are you the goober that has 11 chinese chip amps in his living room?

[@purplehazeffc]

@@XX-121 No I'm not, hence why I mentioned that these would be something to think about. To get this amount of power & dynamics for a home theatre set up, would cost $10,000 plus. Hence why these would make a good budget option for just over $1200. And please don't mention using a receiver's built in amps. Nothing will come close .

[@XX-121]

@@purplehazeffc you're delusional. besides most house speakers are 8 ohms so they're not gonna be pushing much over 100w and that's at 1khz. just like the rest of these chip amp they're gonna push even less when driven hard. and you would need new power supplies for them if you gonna be pushing lower ohm loads anyway because they only ship with 5A ones.

[@DAVIDIRUNGU-nk6yx]

watching all the way from Kenya.......nice job big D....... it must be nice being you....

[@SuperWooba]

So, you would want that power block for each amp. That'd do the trick. lol

[@BlenderRookie]

13:10 Yes, that would be nice.
