Amplifier power is probably the most misunderstood and abused parameter of amplifiers and speakers. Yet, it is often the first (and possibly only) parameter...
Speaker impedance changes amplifier power output. In fact, your amplifier power could be nearly half or double its capacity - depending on the impedance...
Speaker impedance is often presented as a complex subject and therefore is either ignored or misunderstood. A basic understanding of speaker impedance is not...
Distributed speaker systems are also known as "100 volt line" or "70 volt line" speaker systems. They are used extensively where multiple speakers are...
This article logically shows the relationship between amplifier power, SPL and loudness. It includes a level difference exercise and a gain calculator.
Decibels are widely used in audio, and often misunderstood. These articles give a practical understanding on using decibels in audio work. But first, some...
A basic understanding of the general audio levels mentioned in this article will help you avoid the common mistakes often made when connecting audio...
What do you understand about microphone sensitivity? Of late I have seen a number of people miss-interpret the specifications of microphones, especially when it...
After answering nearly 1000 questions on connecting speakers on this website, some common themes have emerged. Please read the answers to these Frequently Asked Questions...
The speaker selector switch simulators presented here demonstrate how speaker selectors deal with speaker impedance and power distribution. Speaker selector switches are used to...
Speaker impedance is often presented as a complex subject and therefore is either ignored or misunderstood. A basic understanding of speaker impedance is not...
In the popular press there have been a number of reports along the lines of "households wasting hundred of dollars on standby power". Being an inquisitive...
Simple Impedance Calculation for Speakers in Series Do you need a calculator to determine the total load impedance of speakers in series? Probably not. The...
This calculator for amplifier power, voltage and current has little significance but is rather interesting. In the specifications for an amplifier, it might say...
This calculator will help you determine the cable losses in distributed speaker systems (also known as 100-volt or 70-volt speaker systems). By inputting the...
If you don't like formulas then you definitely won't like the formula for calculating voltage ratios expressed in decibels. So, use the following calculators to...
Here is a simple calculator for power, current, voltage and resistance (actually there are 6 different calculators, use the one relevant to the values...
This article introduces the basic concepts of multimeters and explains how to use them for basic measurements. Multimeters are one of the most useful...
This article looks at some basic concepts and misconceptions of AC and DC electrical circuits. There are no formulas involved, just explanations to some...
What is electrical power? What is the formula for electrical power? What is watts, volts and amps? This article introduces and illustrates these electrical...
