  2. Electrical characteristics of dynamic loudspeakers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_characteristics...

    The electrical impedance of the speaker varies with the back EMF and thus with the applied frequency. The impedance is at its maximum at F s, shown as Z max in the graph. For frequencies just below resonance, the impedance rises rapidly as the frequency increases towards F s and is inductive in nature.

  3. Nominal impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_impedance

    The nominal impedance of the transmission line and of the amplifiers and equalisers in the transmission chain will all be the same value. [6] Nominal impedance is used, however, to characterise the transducers of an audio system, such as its microphones and loudspeakers. It is important that these are connected to a circuit capable of dealing ...

  4. Damping factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor

    The loudspeaker's nominal load impedance (input impedance) of is usually around 4 to 8 Ω, although other impedance speakers are available, sometimes dropping as low as 1 Ω or 2 Ω. However, the impedance rating of a loudspeaker is simply a number that indicates the nominal minimum impedance of that loudspeaker over a representative portion of ...

  5. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. SNR is defined as the ratio of signal power to noise power, often expressed in decibels. A ratio higher than 1:1 (greater than 0 dB) indicates more signal than noise.

  6. Nominal watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_watt

    A loudspeaker with an 8Ω nominal impedance may exhibit actual impedances ranging from approximately 5 to 100Ω depending on frequency. In this context, the nominal wattage is the theoretical electric power that would be transferred from amplifier to speaker if the loudspeaker was actually exhibiting its nominal impedance. The actual electric ...

  7. Audio power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power

    A speaker with a higher impedance may have lower measured sensitivity and thus appear to be less efficient than a speaker with a lower impedance even though their efficiencies are actually similar. Speaker efficiency is a metric that only measures the actual percentage of electrical power that the speaker converts to acoustic power and is ...

  8. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The input impedance of an infinite line is equal to the characteristic impedance since the transmitted wave is never reflected back from the end. Equivalently: The characteristic impedance of a line is that impedance which, when terminating an arbitrary length of line at its output, produces an input impedance of equal value. This is so because ...

  9. Thiele/Small parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiele/Small_parameters

    The main effect of is on the impedance of the driver, with high drivers displaying a higher impedance peak. One predictor for low Q m s {\displaystyle Q_{\rm {ms}}} is a metallic voice-coil former. These act as eddy-current brakes and increase damping, reducing Q m s {\displaystyle Q_{\rm {ms}}} .
