   A damping factor of 20 or greater is considered adequate for live sound reinforcement systems, as the SPL of inertia-related driver movement is 26 dB less than signal level and won't be heard. [7] Negative feedback in an amplifier lowers its effective output impedance and thus increases its damping factor. [8]
