Hi all , I have a 4 gang rated at 3120 watts maximum and in that I have plugged my beam 2 , a one Sl speaker ( only 1 ) and my sky box , can't find any details on how much wattage the beam and one Sl use when on , I know the beam has a 13a fuse and the one Sl a 3a fuse , but no idea on actual wattage when being used ( not speaker wattage ) thanks 

The operating current would be very small, at least compared with the capacity of that 4-gang power strip. Beam’s idle consumption is 6.3W. I’d be astonished if its current peaked at anything more than 1A, i.e. 240W.

A small reality check. Imagine if you will what would happen if the Beam were to actually draw 13A. It would output as much heat as a 3kW fire. It would melt.

Thanks , I'm not great at all the amps , current stuff so just wanted to check
