Based on testing, at full power from all 8 channels into 8ohms the amp draws ~23 Amps total from the 120VAC wall. To get to the 4ohm spec we claim, 400W, on all 8 channels we need to double that current, ~46Amps. One 20A/16A rated inlet would not handle that current. Also based on the Hypex datasheet, the NC502MP power consumption at full power is 1.2kW per module. With 4 modules in the chassis, we would need a connector to handle 4.8kW. At 120VAC line voltage, that would need to handle 40Amps.

Interesting so at what price point for receiver do you find that is easy to get outputs that go to one of these amps? For instance I have a onkyo 676 right now, would I just use speaker to XLR adapter? Thanks
You generally only need more power if you're driving low impedance or low efficiency speakers in a very large room at reference level, which itself is uncomfortably loud to most people.

I don't think I do, but I was curious how the setup goes. Do they buy a receiver with XLR outputs or a lower end but with all the current atmos etc and use speaker wire to XLR.
Just wanting to learn how they use something like this.
