In a 70 V distributed audio system, the total power requirement is the sum of the power taps of all speakers. With 12 speakers each tapped at 30 W:
12 speakers × 30 W = 360 W
It's standard practice to add a 20% headroom to accommodate potential future expansions and to ensure the amplifier isn't operating at full capacity continuously:
360 W × 1.2 = 432 W
Therefore, an amplifier that can deliver at least 432 W at 70 V is appropriate. Option A provides 500 W at 70 V, which meets this requirement with additional headroom, making it the best choice.
