> > Is there a difference between peak power and True peak power?
I suspect (opinion only) that "True peak power" is a term invented by
marketing, in the specsmanship game. Like "Our peak power rating is
the TRUE peak power. Other manufacturers are fibbing. They are
telling us a FALSE peak power."
I remember "true RMS voltmeters" being advertised and sold a while
ago. (OK, a long while ago.) When you looked at how they arrived at
"truth," it was by measuring the RMS voltage by heating of a
resistor, rather than ASSUMING a sine wave, or square wave. So,
"true RMS" meant "RMS."
