  2. Nominal watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_watt

    This is called the nominal impedance. Amplifiers can therefore be safely specified to operate into a load that has this nominal impedance (or higher, but not lower). Typical nominal impedances for speakers include 4, 6, 8 and 16Ω , with 4Ω being most common in in-car loudspeakers, and 8Ω being most common elsewhere. A loudspeaker with an 8Ω ...

  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. Electrical characteristics of dynamic loudspeakers - Wikipedia

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

    The nominal impedance rating of consumer loudspeakers systems can aid in choosing the correct loudspeaker for a given amplifier (or vice versa). If a home hi-fi amplifier specifies 8 ohm or greater loads , care should be taken that loudspeakers with a lower impedance are not used, lest the amplifier be required to produce more current than it ...

  5. Line level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level

    When driven by a line output's usual low impedance of 100 to 600 ohms, this forms a "bridging" connection in which most of the voltage generated by the source (the output) is dropped across the load (the input), and minimal current flows due to the load's relatively high impedance. Although line inputs have a high impedance compared to that of ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Speaker wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_wire

    Speaker wire is a passive electrical component described by its electrical impedance, Z. The impedance can be broken up into three properties which determine its performance: the real part of the impedance, or the resistance, and the imaginary component of the impedance: capacitance or inductance. The ideal speaker wire has no resistance ...

  8. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The characteristic impedance () of an infinite transmission line at a given angular frequency is the ratio of the voltage and current of a pure sinusoidal wave of the same frequency travelling along the line. This relation is also the case for finite transmission lines until the wave reaches the end of the line.

  9. Electrical impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance

    In electrical engineering, impedance is the opposition to alternating current presented by the combined effect of resistance and reactance in a circuit. [1]Quantitatively, the impedance of a two-terminal circuit element is the ratio of the complex representation of the sinusoidal voltage between its terminals, to the complex representation of the current flowing through it.
