What is the difference between watts and rms?
But how are they related?
Well, in the case of audio systems, the wattage of an amplifier is often listed as the maximum power output. RMS is used to measure the average power output over time, taking into account the variations in the signal. So, while the amplifier may have a maximum power output of X watts, the RMS power output might be lower, depending on the characteristics of the signal being amplified.
