Our Mission
About RMS to Watts
We build authoritative, client-side engineering tools that demystify audio electronics and electrical power standards.
Why We Built This Suite
For decades, consumer audio specifications have suffered from rampant marketing inflation. Deceptive metrics like "PMPO" (Peak Music Power Output) and misapplied √2 voltage multipliers mislead musicians, car audio enthusiasts, and home theater builders.
Our mission is to provide 100% physically accurate, citable calculations backed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60268-5) and IEEE Standard 1459-2010.
Engineering Calibration Standards
- IEC 60268-5: Standard for loudspeaker rated power and thermal endurance measurement.
- FTC 16 CFR Part 432: Standard disclosures for home entertainment amplifier power ratings.
- IEEE 1459-2010: Rigorous AC electrical definitions for real, apparent, and reactive power.
