To use a 70-V constant voltage system to deliver power to different smaller speakers, the voltage must be converted to 70.7 VRMS first through one step-up transformer, and then down to the proper voltage by the Peavey step-down transformers (see Figure 3-5; suppose N speakers are used, so N step-down transformers). The TPA3255 (along with a LC filter) is used as the amplifier (51 V, BTL mode, same condition in all of the following experiments). A Peavey step-up transformer (abbreviated as 18737) and a step-down transformer (abbreviated as 330-040) were used. In the first experiment, the configuration for the 18737 is 1,2 as primary and A,B as secondary, while the configuration for the 330-040 can vary between 10 W, 5 W, 2.5 W, 1.25 W, and 0.62 W in the primary side (secondary is fixed with a 4 Ω load).
To best match the resistance, RL should be more than 4 Ω. If the 18737 configuration is fixed as 20 V to 70 V and 330-040 is fixed as 10 W, 4 Ω:
Note that RL is not always 4 Ω; it gets higher if using a lower power level for the 330-040. So N = 10, and ten 4-Ω resistors are used to simulate 4-Ω speakers.
