Class D vs Class AB: The Direct Answer for Line Array Systems For most modern touring and permanently installed line array systems, a Class D Pro Line Array Amplifier is generally the more practical choice, since it delivers higher efficiency, lower heat output, and a lighter chassis than a comparable Class AB design. Class AB amplifiers still hold a place in certain setups, particularly where a rack was originally built around that topology or where an engineer has a strong preference for its traditional damping characteristics at low frequencies. The choice is rarely absolute in practice. Efficiency, heat, and weight tend to favor Class D, while some engineers still associate Class AB with a certain smoothness in the midrange on specific cabinet designs. The sections below walk through the engineering reasons behind these differences so the comparison can be applied to an actual rig rather than treated as a blanket rule. How a Class D Line Array Amplifier Works A Class D line array amplifier uses high frequency switching output devices rather than a continuously conducting linear stage. The incoming audio signal is converted into a pulse width modulated switching pattern, the output transistors turn fully on or fully off at a very high switching frequency, and a low pass filter at the output reconstructs the amplified audio waveform from that switching pattern. Why Switching Design Reduces Heat Because the output devices spend most of their time either fully on or fully off, very little energy is lost as heat during the transition between those states. This is the core reason Class D topology can reach efficiency figures in the 85 to 92 percent range at rated output, compared with a Class AB stage that dissipates a meaningfully larger share of input power as heat rather than delivering it to the speaker load. Modern Filtering and Feedback Early Class D designs sometimes carried a reputation for a less refined sound compared with linear amplifiers, largely due to switching noise and simpler filter networks. Current designs use multi order output filters and tighter feedback loops, which has narrowed that gap considerably for professional touring applications. How a Class AB Amplifier Works A Class AB amplifier uses a pair of output transistors biased so that each one conducts for slightly more than half of the audio waveform, which avoids the crossover distortion associated with pure Class B operation while still being considerably more efficient than a Class A stage that conducts across the entire waveform continuously. Because the output devices remain in a partially conducting linear state rather than switching fully on and off, a Class AB stage converts a larger portion of input power into heat, particularly at lower output levels. This is why Class AB racks intended for high power touring use tend to carry larger heat sinks and higher overall chassis weight than an equivalent Class D unit. Efficiency Across the Output Load Range Efficiency is not a single fixed number, since it shifts depending on how much of the rated output an amplifier is actually delivering at a given moment during a show. The line chart below illustrates a typical efficiency curve for each topology across four common load points, from a quarter of rated output up to full rated output. 88% 90% 91% 89% 45% 55% 58% 52% 25% Load 50% Load 75% Load 100% Load Typical efficiency pattern across output load for Class D versus Class AB topology, shown for general comparison only Heat Generation and Thermal Management Heat output directly affects how an amplifier rack needs to be cooled, how much fan noise it produces near an audience or a broadcast microphone, and how much load it places on the venue power and air conditioning during a long show. The column chart below shows approximate heat dissipation at two output levels for each topology, based on the efficiency figures referenced above at 1000 watts rated output. 56W D @ 50% 124W D @ 100% 409W AB @ 50% 923W AB @ 100% Approximate heat dissipation in watts at 500 and 1000 watts rated output, shown for general comparison only Weight and Portability for Touring Power Amplifier Racks Weight matters more in touring than it might first appear, since every kilogram in a rack affects road case loading, forklift and dolly planning, and the physical effort of the crew moving gear in and out of a venue on a tight changeover schedule. A touring power amplifier built around Class D output stages typically needs a much smaller heat sink than a Class AB unit of similar output, which translates directly into a lighter chassis. Class D (2ch) 6 kg Class D (4ch) 9 kg Class AB (2ch) 14 kg Class AB (4ch) 22 kg Approximate chassis weight comparison for equivalent channel counts, shown for general reference only Sound Character and Damping Factor Considerations Damping factor describes how tightly an amplifier controls speaker cone motion once a signal stops, and it is one of the reasons some engineers still favor Class AB output stages, since certain Class AB designs have historically offered a very high damping factor at low frequencies. This can translate into tight, controlled low end on specific cabinet designs. Modern Class D amplifiers built for professional touring use have closed much of this gap through improved output filtering and feedback design, and many current models now measure competitively against Class AB units on the same bench tests. The practical difference on a given line array cabinet often comes down to the specific amplifier model and its output filter design rather than the topology label alone. DSP Integration in a Modern Pro Line Array Amplifier A DSP line array amplifier builds digital signal processing directly into the amplifier chassis, handling tasks such as crossover point selection, time alignment between array elements, limiting to protect the connected cabinets, and preset tuning matched to a specific line array model. This integration reduces the amount of separate outboard processing gear a touring rig needs to carry and configure before a show. Built in crossover and equalization presets matched to specific cabinet models Time alignment and delay settings for coherent array coverage Limiting and protection circuitry tuned to driver and voice coil ratings Remote monitoring of amplifier status across a networked rig Preset recall for quick changeover between different show configurations Comparing Class D and Class AB Across Key Factors The radar chart below lines up Class D and Class AB topology across five practical factors that matter for a working line array rig, using a simple 0 to 10 scale for general comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions Q1. What is a line array amplifierIt is a power amplifier engineered to drive multiple coupled line array loudspeaker cabinets with the current, headroom, and control needed for coherent long throw sound coverage. Q2. What amplifier is best for line array speakersThe right amplifier depends on the specific array design, but most current setups pair well with a Class D pro line array amplifier that includes built in DSP for crossover and array tuning. Q3. How do line array amplifiers workThey take a line level audio signal, apply DSP processing such as crossover and delay settings, then boost the signal to the voltage and current level needed to drive the connected cabinets. Q4. What is DSP in a power amplifierDSP stands for digital signal processing, and inside an amplifier it typically handles crossover points, time alignment, limiting, and preset tuning for a specific array configuration. Q5. What is a Class D amplifierA Class D amplifier uses high frequency switching output devices rather than a continuously conducting linear stage, generally giving it higher efficiency and lower heat output for a given power level. Q6. Can any amplifier power a line array systemNot reliably, since line arrays generally need sufficient current delivery, protection circuitry, and often DSP control matched to the specific cabinet design and impedance load. Q7. How do you match an amplifier to speakersMatching involves checking impedance compatibility, rated power headroom relative to the speaker rating, and confirming any recommended DSP presets or crossover points from the cabinet design. Q8. What amplifier impedance should I chooseThe amplifier should support the nominal impedance of the connected line array load, commonly 4 or 8 ohms, while leaving enough headroom for the number of cabinets wired together. .qb-pla{margin-bottom:40px;} .qb-pla p{font-size:16px;line-height:2;text-align:left;margin-bottom:15px;color:#173226;} .qb-pla

The Direct Answer: How To Choose The Right Sound System Amplifier The right sound system amplifier is the one sized to your speaker load, matched to the environment it will run in, and equipped with the control features your setup actually needs. For a small meeting room or retail space, a compact Class D amplifier with modest channel count usually covers the job with headroom to spare. For a conference hall, worship space, or multi-zone commercial installation, a multi-channel PA system amplifier with DSP control gives more flexibility to route and tune different zones independently. For large venues and outdoor events, a higher power professional amplifier with a robust thermal design becomes the more practical choice, since it needs to sustain output over long periods without stress. Power and impedance - confirm your speaker load before comparing wattage specs Room size and use case - match output headroom to the space, not just the speaker count Amplifier class - weigh efficiency and heat output against tonal preference Control and integration - check for DSP, zoning, and remote monitoring if the install is complex Understanding Sound System Amplifiers And How They Fit Into An Audio Setup A sound system amplifier takes a low level audio signal from a mixer, source player, or microphone preamp and raises it to a level strong enough to drive a loudspeaker. Without this stage, a speaker driver simply cannot move enough air to produce usable volume, since the raw line level signal carries almost no current. The amplifier sits between the source and the speaker in the signal chain, and its output power, channel configuration, and control set largely define what the rest of the system can do. Modern amplifiers for commercial and installed sound generally fall into a handful of topology families. Class AB designs have been the long standing reference for balanced tonal performance in fixed installations. Class D designs use high frequency switching to convert power far more efficiently, which keeps the chassis smaller and the heat output lower, making them common in compact commercial audio amplifier products and portable PA gear. Digital and hybrid amplifiers add onboard signal processing, letting a single chassis handle equalization, crossover, and zone routing without a separate processor. Picking between these families is less about chasing the highest number on a spec sheet and more about matching the amplifier's power, efficiency, and control set to the room, the speakers, and how the system will actually be operated day to day. Matching Amplifier Power To Your Speakers And Room Size Amplifier power needs scale with room volume, expected background noise, and how far sound needs to travel before it reaches the last row of listeners. A small meeting room rarely needs more than a modest power reserve, while an outdoor event with ambient noise and open air dispersion needs considerably more headroom to maintain clarity at distance. Relative Power Headroom Needed By Room Size Small Room Medium Room Conference Hall Large Venue Outdoor Event 0 25 50 75 100 Relative power headroom index by venue type, 0 to 100. Illustrative pattern for planning purposes, actual needs vary with speaker sensitivity and layout. General power and amplifier guidance by venue type Venue Type Approx Room Size Power Range Suggested Amplifier Type Small meeting room Up to 50 sqm Low power range Compact Class D amplifier Retail or restaurant space 50 to 150 sqm Low to medium power range Multi-zone Class D amplifier Conference hall or worship space 150 to 400 sqm Medium power range Multi-channel PA system amplifier Large venue or auditorium 400 to 1000 sqm Medium to high power range High power professional amplifier Outdoor event or open area Open dispersion High power range High power Class D or digital amplifier Comparing Amplifier Classes And Their Efficiency Characteristics Amplifier class affects three things that matter for installers and buyers alike: efficiency, heat output, and physical size. Class A designs run their output devices constantly active, giving low distortion but very low efficiency and considerable heat, which is why they rarely appear in commercial sound reinforcement today. Class AB designs improve efficiency substantially while keeping a tonal character that many engineers still prefer for certain applications. Class D designs switch the output stage at high frequency, commonly reaching efficiency figures well above traditional analog designs, which is why a Class D power amplifier supplier can often fit far more output power into a shallow rack space than an equivalent analog unit. Commonly Cited Efficiency Range By Amplifier Class Class A 25% Class AB 50% Class D 90% Digital / Hybrid 80% Commonly cited efficiency range by amplifier class, based on general electronic engineering reference figures. Heat Output, Rack Space And Ventilation Planning Heat output runs inversely to efficiency, so the class that draws the most power for a given output also generates the most heat that ventilation has to remove. This matters directly for rack planning, since a room full of Class A or older Class AB amplifiers needs meaningfully more airflow and rack spacing than a room using modern Class D units of similar total power. A professional power amplifier supplier will usually publish thermal figures alongside power specs, and it is worth checking these before finalizing a rack layout, particularly for installations in enclosed equipment closets without dedicated cooling. Relative Heat Output Index By Amplifier Class 8.5 Class A 6.0 Class AB 2.0 Class D 3.0 Digital Hybrid Relative heat output index for illustration, lower value indicates less heat generated per unit of output power. Channels, Control And Integration Features To Check Channel count and control flexibility usually matter as much as raw power once a system grows past a single room. A commercial audio amplifier intended for multi-zone retail or hospitality use benefits from independent volume and routing per channel, so background music in a dining area can run separately from paging in a kitchen or entrance. A PA system amplifier manufacturer targeting worship, education, or conference markets often builds in onboard DSP for equalization, crossover, and priority ducking, so a paging announcement can automatically lower background music without a separate processor in the rack. Independent channel routing for multi-zone spaces Onboard DSP for equalization and crossover settings Priority ducking for paging and announcement channels Remote monitoring or network control for larger installations Protection circuitry for thermal, short circuit, and overload conditions Side By Side Comparison Of Common Amplifier Topologies Efficiency Power Density Heat Management Channel Flexibility Integration Features Class D Class AB Digital / Hybrid General comparison across common amplifier topologies Amplifier Class Typical Efficiency Heat Output Best Suited For Class A Low High Rarely used in commercial sound reinforcement Class AB Moderate Moderate Balanced tonal character for fixed installations Class D High Low Compact commercial audio amplifier and portable PA use Digital / Hybrid High Low to moderate Integrated DSP control for multi-zone systems Which Applications Use Which Type Of Sound System Amplifier An industrial or commercial project rarely needs just one amplifier type. The same underlying Class D or digital platform, configured differently, tends to show up across several settings that all need reliable, unattended audio reinforcement. Retail And Hospitality Worship And Education Conference And Meeting Rooms Transportation Hubs Stadiums And Outdoor Venues Live Sound And Touring Broadcast And Studio Public Address And Paging Transportation hubs and paging systems tend to favor rugged, high channel count amplifiers with priority ducking, while live sound and touring applications lean toward high power density Class D units that keep rack weight manageable for frequent transport. Choosing A Sound System Amplifier Manufacturer Or Supplier Once the amplifier category is narrowed down, the working relationship with a sound system amplifier manufacturer shapes how smoothly a project moves from specification to installed system. A capable professional power amplifier supplier should be able to walk through channel count, impedance load, and control requirements before recommending a model, rather than pointing only at a general catalog. A Commercial Sound System Amplifier Manufacturer that also produces mixers and microphones in house often gives integrators an easier path to matched components across a full signal chain. Working with a China Sound System Amplifier Manufacturer that runs its own SMT production and assembly lines generally means shorter lead times for both standard models and customized units. For buyers evaluating an OEM Power Amplifier Factory, it helps to ask about sample turnaround, how design changes are communicated back to engineering, and what testing happens before units ship, since these process details tend to affect the ownership experience more than any single spec on a datasheet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sound System Amplifiers Q1. What is a sound system amplifier A sound system amplifier raises a low level audio signal from a mixer or source device to a level strong enough to drive a loudspeaker, sitting between the audio source and the speakers in a system. Q2. How does an amplifier work An amplifier takes the incoming signal and uses its power supply and output stage to increase current and voltage, reproducing the same waveform at a level the speaker driver can convert into audible sound. Q3. Why do speakers need an amplifier Line level audio signals carry very little current, which is not enough to move a speaker cone with any real volume, so an amplifier stage is needed to supply the power a driver requires. Q4. What size amplifier do I need Sizing depends on speaker impedance, room size, and expected background noise level. Reviewing the speaker specification sheet alongside room dimensions gives a far more reliable starting point than guessing from wattage alone. Q5. What products can you provide Production is focused on mixers, active power amplifiers, microphones, and related electronic components and equipment for commercial and installed audio use. Q6.

Direct Answer: How to Select a Professional Line Array Amplifier Selecting a Pro Line Array Amplifier comes down to four non‑negotiable factors: continuous power headroom (at least 1.5× the program power of your speakers), impedance compatibility (4Ω or 8Ω with stable 2Ω operation), on‑board DSP with FIR filters and crossover management, and Class D topology for efficiency above 90% in a rack‑mount form factor. Start by calculating the total RMS load of your array, then add 4–6 dB of headroom. Choose a DSP line array amplifier that offers at least 4 channels, network control, and preset storage for different venues. For OEM or custom projects, partner with a manufacturer that provides full tuning support and impedance flexibility. Power and Wattage: The Foundation of Array Performance Power is the single most critical specification. A line array amplifier wattage rating must be evaluated in RMS continuous power, not peak. Typical line array modules have program power ratings from 500 W to 2,500 W per driver section[reference:0][reference:1]. For example, a dual‑8″ active line array module often uses a 800 W RMS LF amplifier and a 400 W RMS HF amplifier[reference:2]. For passive systems, a 4‑channel rack mount line array amplifier can deliver 4 × 1,500 W at 8Ω or 4 × 2,500 W at 4Ω[reference:3]. Typical Power Distribution in a Bi‑Amp Line Array Module LF Amplifier 800 W RMS 1,600 W Peak HF Amplifier 400 W RMS 800 W Peak Data based on typical self‑powered line array modules (e.g., LAIA‑28, 2025)[reference:4] For a 8‑cabinet array, total continuous power often exceeds 6,000 W. A high power line array amplifier with 4 × 2,500 W at 4Ω can comfortably drive such a system while maintaining 6 dB of headroom for transient peaks[reference:5]. Always select an amplifier whose continuous output at the intended load impedance is at least 1.5× the program power of the loudspeakers. Recommended Amplifier Power per Array Size (8Ω load, continuous RMS) Array Size (cabinets) Total Program Power (RMS) Recommended Amp Power (8Ω) Headroom (dB) 4 cabinets 2,000 – 3,200 W 3,000 – 4,800 W +4 to +6 6 cabinets 3,000 – 4,800 W 4,500 – 7,200 W +4 to +6 8 cabinets 4,000 – 6,400 W 6,000 – 9,600 W +4 to +6 12 cabinets 6,000 – 9,600 W 9,000 – 14,400 W +4 to +6 DSP Integration: The Brain of Your Line Array System A DSP line array amplifier is no longer optional — it is mandatory for modern sound reinforcement. On‑board DSP handles crossover filtering, time alignment, parametric EQ, limiting, and loudspeaker protection[reference:6]. Modern units operate at 96 kHz / 64‑bit double precision with FIR linear phase filtering[reference:7]. DSP Signal Chain in a Pro Line Array Amplifier Input → ADC → DSP Engine → DAC → Class D Typical signal flow: analog/digital input → ADC → DSP processing → DAC → Class D power stage[reference:8] When evaluating a professional line array amplifier, look for at least 8 parametric EQ filters per channel, crossover slopes of 24 dB/octave or steeper, and integrated limiting with true‑peak detection. DSP amplifier setup should be achievable via a user‑friendly interface — either a front‑panel screen (e.g., 2.8″ IPS with joystick)[reference:9] or PC/Mac software with remote network control. Key DSP features to prioritize: FIR filters for linear phase response, delay per channel (up to 500 ms), signal generators for testing, and at least 50 user‑preset slots for different venues and array configurations. Impedance Matching: The Hidden Efficiency Factor Line array amplifier impedance compatibility directly affects power transfer and thermal stability. Most professional line array speakers are rated at 8Ω or 4Ω nominal impedance[reference:10]. When multiple cabinets are wired in parallel, total impedance drops. For example, four 8Ω cabinets in parallel present a 2Ω load — which requires an amplifier rated for stable 2Ω operation[reference:11]. Total Impedance for Parallel‑Wired 8Ω Cabinets 1 cab (8Ω) 2 cabs (4Ω) 3 cabs (2.67Ω) 4 cabs (2Ω) 6 cabs (1.33Ω) Impedance (Ω) Parallel wiring of identical 8Ω cabinets. Most pro amplifiers support 2Ω stable operation[reference:12]. A rack mount line array amplifier with selectable impedance matching (e.g., 2Ω, 4Ω, 8Ω) provides the flexibility needed for touring systems where array size changes daily. For bridged operation, impedance effectively doubles — a bridged 4‑channel amp delivering 2 × 5,000 W at 8Ω bridged is common[reference:13]. Always check the amplifier's minimum impedance specification before committing to a wiring scheme. Class D Topology: Efficiency Meets Power Density Modern class D line array amplifier designs achieve efficiency ratings of 90% to 96%[reference:14]. This means a 4,000 W output amplifier draws only about 4,200–4,500 W from the mains, generating far less heat than Class AB or H designs. The high efficiency enables compact 2U or 3U rack‑mount chassis that can deliver 20,000 W of total output[reference:15]. Amplifier Class Efficiency Comparison (Typical) Class A ~20–30% Class AB ~50–60% Class H ~65–75% Class D 90–96% Class D amplifiers dominate professional touring due to their high efficiency and low heat generation[reference:16]. For OEM line array amplifier projects, Class D is the preferred topology because it allows lighter power supplies, smaller heat sinks, and reduced shipping weight — all critical for rental and touring companies. Additionally, the lower heat dissipation extends the lifespan of internal components and reduces air‑conditioning load in rack rooms. Rack Mount Design: Space Efficiency on Tour A rack mount line array amplifier saves valuable space in flight cases. Most professional units are 2U or 3U high, with depths under 450 mm[reference:17]. An 8‑channel high power line array amplifier in a 2U chassis can deliver 8 × 800 W at 4Ω[reference:18], making it ideal for large arrays where rack space is at a premium. When selecting a Pro Line Array Amplifier for touring, consider the weight — modern Class D units weigh as little as 16 kg for a 4‑channel 1,500 W model[reference:19]. This is a dramatic reduction compared to older transformer‑based amplifiers. For fixed installations, rack‑mount with rear support brackets and front handles is standard. Rack mount checklist: 19″ EIA standard, front‑panel indicators for signal/clip/protect, rear‑panel XLR inputs and Speakon outputs, and detachable power cords with locking connectors. OEM and ODM: Customization for Your Brand For audio brands looking to offer a Pro Line Array Amplifier under their own name, partnering with an experienced OEM line array amplifier manufacturer is the fastest path to market. Over 80% of the world's specialized line array amplifier production is concentrated in Guangdong, China[reference:20]. Manufacturers with over 5,000 m² of production space and five or more years of experience typically offer greater stability for complex OEM projects[reference:21]. An ODM audio amplifier partner can provide fully customized DSP presets, front‑panel branding, custom impedance configurations, and even tailored protection curves for specific loudspeaker drivers. This level of customization ensures that your professional line array amplifier delivers optimal performance with your own line array enclosures. OEM/ODM Customization Options for Line Array Amplifiers DSP Tuning Impedance Power Rating Branding Connectivity OEM/ODM partners offer deep customization across five key dimensions[reference:22]. DSP Amplifier Setup: A Step‑by‑Step Workflow Proper DSP amplifier setup ensures that your line array delivers consistent coverage and intelligibility. The workflow typically follows these stages[reference:23]: System verification — confirm all cables, connectors, and power are correct. Speaker placement — position each module according to the venue's geometry. Aim and alignment — set splay angles using manufacturer‑provided prediction software. Equalization — apply room EQ based on measurement microphone data (e.g., Smaart, Room EQ Wizard)[reference:24]. Crossover alignment — set crossover points between LF and HF sections, and between mains and subwoofers. Limiter configuration — set true‑peak and RMS limiters to protect drivers. A DSP line array amplifier with at least 8 parametric EQ filters per channel and delay up to 500 ms per channel simplifies this process. Many manufacturers now offer software that allows remote control and real‑time monitoring of all amplifier parameters via Ethernet. Bridging: When and How to Use It Line array amplifier bridging combines two channels into a single, more powerful channel. This is useful when you need to drive a high‑power subwoofer or a large passive line array section with a single amplifier. A bridged 4‑channel amplifier can deliver 2 × 5,000 W at 8Ω[reference:25]. However, bridging doubles the voltage swing and halves the minimum impedance. Always check the amplifier's bridged minimum impedance — many support 4Ω or 8Ω bridged, but not 2Ω[reference:26]. For most line array applications, bridging is used for the subwoofer channels, while the mid‑high sections are run in stereo mode for better channel separation and control. Bridge mode best practice: Use identical speakers on both sides of the bridged pair, set the amplifier to bridge mode via rear‑panel switch, and connect the speaker to the designated bridge output terminals (usually the positive terminals of both channels). Frequently Asked Questions Q1: What amplifier is best for a line array? A Pro Line Array Amplifier with Class D topology, on‑board DSP, and at least 4 channels of 500 W–2,500 W per channel at 4Ω is the industry standard. Q2: Can any amplifier drive line array speakers? No. Line arrays require high continuous power, stable low‑impedance operation (2Ω–8Ω), and DSP for crossover and time alignment. A general‑purpose amplifier lacks these features. Q3: How many speakers can one amplifier power? Depends on impedance. A 4‑channel amp at 4Ω can power 4 cabinets (one per channel) or up to 8 cabinets if wired in parallel pairs (2Ω per channel), provided the amp supports 2Ω. Q4: What is DSP in a power amplifier? Digital Signal Processing — it handles crossover, EQ, delay, limiting, and loudspeaker protection. Essential for modern DSP line array amplifier systems. Q5: How much power does a line array need? A typical 8‑cabinet array needs 4,000 W–6,400 W continuous RMS. Always add 4–6 dB of headroom, so select an amplifier with 6,000 W–9,600 W at the intended load. Q6: Why are Class D amplifiers used in concerts? Class D offers 90–96% efficiency, meaning less heat, lighter weight, and more power in a 2U rack space — ideal for touring and festival high power line array amplifier deployments. Q7: What impedance should I use? Most pro line array speakers are 8Ω or 4Ω. Choose an amplifier that supports your target impedance and offers stable operation down to 2Ω for parallel‑wired arrays. Q8: Can I bridge a line array amplifier? Yes. Bridging combines two channels for higher power. Use it for subwoofers or large passive sections. Ensure the bridged load impedance is within the amplifier's specification. /* Reset and base */ * { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; } .article { font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; background: #f9fbfa; padding: 30px 20px; color: #1e2a2f; line-height: 2; font-size: 16px; } .article * { line-height: 2; } .article h2, .article h3, .article p, .article ul, .article ol, .article table, .article .faq-grid, .article .chart-container { margin-bottom: 15px; } .article h2 { font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px; color: #0b3b3b; } .article h3 { font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px; color: #1a4a4a; } .article section { margin-bottom: 40px; padding: 28px 24px; border-radius: 20px; background: #ffffff; box-shadow: 0 4px 16px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03); transition: box-shadow 0.2s ease; } .article section:hover { box-shadow: 0 6px 24px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06); } /* alternating section styles */ .article section:nth-child(odd) { background: #ffffff; } .article section:nth-child(even) { background: #f5faf8; } .article section:nth-child(3n) { background: #edf6f2; } .article section:nth-child(5n+2) { background: #f2f9f5; } .article section:last-of-type { background: #e6f3ed; } .article p { font-size: 16px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px; } .article ul, .article ol { padding-left: 24px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .article li { font-size: 16px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px; list-style-position: inside; } .article li { list-style-type: disc; } .article ol li { list-style-type: decimal; } .article strong { font-weight: bold; color: #006b5f; } /* tables */ .article table { display: table; text-align: center; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px; border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden; } .article thead { display: table-header-group; background: #d8ebe5; } .article tbody { display: table-row-group; } .article tr { display: table-row; } .article th { display: table-cell; font-weight: bold; border: 1px solid #c0d6cf; padding: 10px 12px; background: #d8ebe5; color: #0b3b3b; } .article td { display: table-cell; border: 1px solid #c0d6cf; padding: 10px 12px; background: #ffffff; } .article tbody tr:nth-child(even) td { background: #f6fbf9; } .article caption { caption-side: bottom; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 12px; font-style: italic; color: #6b7a76; padding-top: 8px; } /* charts */ .chart-container { display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; width: 100%; margin: 20px auto 30px auto; background: #fafffd; padding: 20px 16px 10px 16px; border-radius: 20px; border: 1px solid #deece7; } .chart-container svg { display: block; width: 100%; max-width: 620px; height: auto; border-radius: 12px; } .chart-title { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; color: #0b3b3b; margin-bottom: 12px; text-align: center; } .chart-note { font-size: 15px; color: #5d726b; text-align: center; margin-top: 8px; font-style: italic; } /* FAQ grid — two columns */ .faq-grid { display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; gap: 16px 24px; margin-top: 10px; } .faq-item { background: #eaf6f1; padding: 16px 20px; border-radius: 16px; border-left: 4px solid #008cd6; transition: background 0.15s ease; } .faq-item:hover { background: #dff0e9; } .faq-item .q { font-weight: 700; color: #004d40; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 2px; } .faq-item .a { font-size: 16px; color: #1f3d35; margin-top: 2px; } /* responsive */ @media (max-width: 640px) { .article { padding: 16px 12px; } .article section { padding: 20px 16px; } .faq-grid { grid-template-columns: 1fr; gap: 12px; } .chart-container svg { max-width: 100%; } } @media (min-width: 641px) and (max-width: 1024px) { .article section { padding: 24px 20px; } .faq-grid { grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; gap: 14px 20px; } } /* extra polish */ .article .highlight-box { background: #e2f0ea; padding: 12px 20px; border-radius: 14px; border-left: 5px solid #008cd6; margin-bottom: 15px; } .article .stat-badge { display: inline-block; background: #cde3db; padding: 0 10px; border-radius: 30px; font-weight: 600; color: #004d40; } /* list spacing */ .article ul li, .article ol li { margin-bottom: 5px; }
