  2. 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 ...

  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. Line level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level

    It is intended by designers that the line out of one device be connected to the line input of another. Line inputs are designed to accept voltage levels in the range provided by line outputs. Impedances, on the other hand, are deliberately not matched from output to input. The impedance of a line input is typically around 10 kΩ. When driven by ...

  6. 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 ...

  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 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. Loudspeaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudspeaker

    A loudspeaker (commonly referred to as a speaker or, more fully, a speaker system) is a combination of one or more speaker drivers, an enclosure, and electrical connections (possibly including a crossover network). The speaker driver is an electroacoustic transducer [1]: 597 that converts an electrical audio signal into a corresponding sound. [2]
