Bryan Adams' Waking Up The Neighbours springs to mind :p
 
It's not an actual product. It's essentially a tech demo for promotion. Kind of how TV makers show 100 inch TVs but never actually sell them.

All I know is that if they ever make a 2000 inch TV, Weird Al is probably going to buy one.
 
Me neither...

I don't quite agree with this...

Behringer is the brand that every professional audio engineers avoid at ALL cost. And why would someone spend 30k on a system that doesn't fit in most people environment, when you can get a hell of a good system that also integrates iPhone compatibility for 30k...
 
I don't quite agree with this...

Totally agree with this comment.

Professional? On what planet?

Sorry, Behringer is know in the "Pro" audio for it's bad build quality, bad sound, and has been sued by many other companies for patent infringement and outright stealing circuit board and product designs, trademark infringement, a huge fine by the FCC ($1M +) for not testing products for certain safety standards and shipped those products for over a year after the fine.

Pure junk with inflated specs. 10k Watts? I call BS.
 
While this device certainly could be the loudest iPhone dock, it probably isn't the largest. There are cars with built in iDevice docks and they are larger and heavier.

Lol why...
 
I wonder how many microfarads the filter capacitors are. How many output transistors are there? Did they use a formula to get the 10,000 Watt rating, or find some (say 8Ω if the internal speakers are 8Ω) resistors that could handle 10,000 Watts, inject a 1KHz sine wave, and check for clipping on an oscilloscope?

It could be that BS that Samsung, Sony, and other use in their home theater systems. I'm sorry, but that little amp in that subwoofer has the same change of outputting 1000W as I do. More like 100W total, and 20 watts per channel.

Oh it is possible, us Car Audio guys have been able to produce more power. It just takes a lot of batteries and alternators (with that pesky 14V limitation)... It can't be too much harder to do when you have a much higher starting voltage. Your biggest problem is sustainment of that much power. In Car Audio when voltage sags amperage shoot up like a rocket.

Because they could.

Berhinger does not make the best quality stuff by FAR. They do however make products that for the price do their job well. They do, however steal from other companies all the time. Their line of amps look and work almost exactly like ASC amps. Their new line of consoles look and operate the same as Mackie. they even have the same spelling errors in the manual as the Mackie.
 
I'll just stick to my Bose surround system for musical entertainment. That thing just looks silly.
 
Does it survive The Overture of 1812 test?

Has to be the version with the real cannon fire. I was at a video game company when the hardware compatibility manager decided to destroy some old speaker by cranking up the volume to max before the cannon fire. An interesting but deafening experience.
