Very Interesting Read on "Impedence In Audio Technology"

[bowtie427ss]

This is a very in depth paper on impedence both at line level and amplifier output level.

There are some very good notes on the relationship between parallel speaker loads and damping factor, as well as the requirements/effects of paralleling amplifier inputs.

This is from the Peavey website and will refer to pro audio products, however the theory applies to ALL audio.

bowtie,
Nice walkthrough article. Thank you.

for maximum transfer of energy, impedance should be matched.
