The AMP523 is a mini stereo amplifier with an integrated web-based control unit featuring four stereo line inputs and one balanced microphone input with phantom power. It has an output power rating of 2 x 15 Watt. The simple and compact but versatile functionalities make it perfectly suited for small speaker systems requiring compact and economical audio solutions which are comprehensive and easily controllable. Some typical applications are classrooms where the audio system will be used in combination with a smartboard, offices and meeting rooms where the music should switch automatically from background music to speech or playback when the presentation starts, …. and many other similar applications.
The compact size and very high efficiency even make it possible to hide it in a closet, on a false ceiling or mount it under a desk or table. The various stereo line inputs allow simultaneous connections for different sources such as laptops, CD or MP3 players and tablets while having a microphone connected. The switching between the inputs, volume regulation and other function controls can be done in multiple ways: an integrated website makes it possible to control all the functions from any computer with a web browser without requiring additional software while the RS232 connection makes it possible to control the AMP523 with any device supporting serial communication such as a computer or even a home or industrial automation system. Another option is to control the system through smartphones and tablets using the special developed AUDAC Touch™ app.
Using this freely available application for smart devices guarantees total system control and configuration from any device on any location and at any time. To make the installation even more complete, an optional MWX43 or MWX45 wall panel can be installed to control the signal routing and volume level from one or multiple fixed locations. The Class-D amplifier technology, standby mode and included switching power supply makes this device compliant to the highest energy efficiency and environmental requirements. A variety of optionally available mounting brackets for the AUDAC S-Box product range are allowing desk, closet or 19” equipment rack installation.

Answer
As the power consumption of an amplifier, strongly depends on how hard the amplifier is driven, measurements are provided for various loads: idle, 1/8 of average full power, 1/3 of average full power, and full power.
Idle
Current draw at idle or with very low signal level
1/8 Power: Pink Noise
Amplifiers are tested using pink noise signals to simulate real-world speech and music signals. It approximates operating with music or voice with light clipping and represents the amplifier's typical "clean" maximum level, without audible clipping. This 1/8 power signal provides a very good approximation of how hard an amplifier would be driven by typical real-world speech/music signals, assuming those signals were being driven as loud as possible without clipping the amplifier.
1/3 Power: Pink Noise
1/3 Power Pink Noise is similar to 1/8 Power Pink Noise, except that it is a significantly more powerful input signal. It approximates operating with music or voice with very heavy clipping and a very compressed dynamic range. This 1/3 power signal provides an approximation of how hard an amplifier would be driven by typical real-world speech/music signals, assuming those signals were being driven loud enough to clip the amplifier heavily, and produce severe, audible distortion.
Full Power
Current draw at full power is measured with a sine wave at its maximum possible level. However, it does not represent any real-world operating condition and represents the absolute extremes that an amplifier could ever experience.
Answer
Heat dissipation is the process by which electronic devices like amplifiers and processors release the heat they generate during operation to prevent overheating. This data is important because it ensures devices perform efficiently, last longer, and are safe to use. To calculate heat dissipation, you measure the device's power consumption (in watts) and use the thermal resistance (how well the device transfers heat) to determine how much heat needs to be managed. This information helps design proper cooling systems, ensuring the device remains within safe temperature limits.
The heat dissipation list for all Audac devices is in the link below.
