Sony SRS XP500 Power Output

The SRS XP500 Sony Bluetooth party speaker is a medium power, karaoke stereo  with abundant music output power to fill a common size room or yard with plenty loud, far reaching tunes, that feature rich bass and treble.

But what does the level of output power of an amplifier-speaker system tell us about it?  Firstly, the watt is a measure of how much power the speaker consumes or outputs.  Furthermore, this metric is a handy comparison measure. E.g. Generally speaking, the more power output that speakers can deliver. the louder they can play. Plus, they sound bigger than those with less power.  Yes, larger units cost more, have larger, heavier batteries and AC power supplies, along with outsized drivers.  But, they offer more dynamic range, have a deeper bass response, and stereo models like the SRS XP500 offer typically a bigger soundstage to listeners.

Thus in general, the more output power the speaker can push, the better it sounds, even at lower audio wattages. You get clearer sound due to more accurate reproduction of the bass as well as midrange and treble content of the music. So, the speaker’s power output is a key indicator of speaker capability and quality, and as such, is of great intrigue to audiophiles and novice music lovers alike.

In this case, the Sony SRS XP500, as a portable indoor / outdoor tower speaker, is a decidedly hefty model.  Indeed, its power output can fill a medium size room inside or outside with easily heard tunes. See below for details on its power output.
