impedance

This question is mostly about amplifier output impedance I think, although the actual kit in use is not normal domestic! Hopefully it's allowed. A friend has a small-scale semi-commercial amplifier feeding her work-from-home business audio. While it's shut down she's thinking about expanding...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a 2.1 system which is a Frankenstein of different components. My amp does not have a sub out port, so I'm forced to use the speaker in/out port of the sub and from there I will go to the speakers. Unfortunately the sub does not state the impedance of the...

Not really sure how amps+passive speakers are matched up well Was hoping people could shed light on if this BT20A could support the 220s well? Link to the Wharfedale Diamond's Sensitivity (dB) 86 Impedance (ohms) 8 Power Rating (Watts) 100 Freq Response (Hz) 56 - 20,000...

Hi Folks, I use a Pioneer A300R amplifier (the Tom Evans "Precision" variant) that I recieved as a hand-me-down from my dad a few years ago. He purchased this amp back in 1989 (before I was born!) but it is still working very well. Since inheriting this amplifier, it's always worked well and to...

Hi All. Need some help with impendance settings on Yamaha As501. I will have a pair of Wharfdale 9.1 diamonds So the wharfdales are rated at 6ohms. And i would like to biwire these. As the amp has both A and B channel so will put Hf to A and Lf to B. Now issue i have is on back of amp it says...

I wonder if someone could assist me with a query regarding speaker switch boxes? We're in the middle of an extension and I've just taken my old AVR (Sony DA-2400ES) and Q-Acoustics 1000i (2x1050i Front, 2x 1010i Rear, 1000Si Sub and 1000Ci Centre) speaker system apart before the chaos starts -...

Hey guys, hoping someone can help me! I have a full 5.1 KEF system (2x750s, 1x650, 2x300s and a KUBE12). I am moving and when disconnecting my system I decided to check resistance with my multimeter and got some strange results. Q750’s: 2.3ohm Q650: 2.8ohm Q300’s:3.2ohm All of these speakers...

Hi All, I have two rows of the 3 seats and 6 shakers. I have an NX1000 amp and I have DA BST-1 bass shakers with a 4ohm impedance and are 50W but I'm not completely sure of the best way to wire them. I'd like to have them on separate channels so 3 on one and 3 on the other as 95% of the time...

My amp manual is a bit limited on this topic, and the information I’ve found on the net is a bit confusing - should I set it to 6 ohms or 8+ ohms. If I understand correctly, it should be 6 ohms, but I don’t want to go blowing things up. I rarely need to operate the amp at even close to 50%...

Hi, I'm Just about to setup my Living room HT and I have the following:- Denon X2300W Front: Q Acoustics 3090C L/R: Q Acoustics 3050 S/L and R: Q Acoustics 3020 Atmos TML/R: Polk RC60i SW: Wharfedale Diamond SW150 All the Q Acoustics speakers are 6 Ohms, I've heard its best to just leave the...

Hello, need bit of advice please on bi wiring, I have tannoy xt6f speakers and Yamaha rn803d receiver , bi wired into amp using 4 plugs each end, using up A and B speaker inputs , do I need to change the impedance on amp? I am new to this , bear with me please ! Many Thanks

Hi All, I was looking to buy a subwoofer for a used Denon AVR 3805 I just got. However, when I went through the manual I could only find the wattage and impedance rating of the 7 channels, not of the subwoofer. Should i assume that the subwoofer has the same rating or am I missing something...

Hi, I'm looking for a wee bit of advice regarding my horrifically mixed and matched setup. I recently got a shiny new Onkyo NR656 in their exchange program for a knackered NR606, and since it is Atmos capable, I would like to try it out in a 5.1.2 setup. I currently have a pair of very old...

Hi, I have a question regarding the impedance of speakers. Lets say we have an 8 ohms speakers 4 way, 1 woofer, 1 midrange, 2 tweeter all of them are rated at 8 ohms impedance. As I read in many forums that the impedance will be added if speakers are added in parallel. I looked up a lot of...

Hi I have the M40x headphones and want to get the Sound Blaster Z sound card (I'm currently using onboard audio) I don't understand very well the technical terms but the impedance of the headphones is 35 ohms, and I noticed that the sound card has a headphone amplifier rated to handle 600 ohms...

Hi all. In the middle of building my first 5.1 system and unsure about speaker impedance settings for my receiver (Denon AVR X3400H). My plan is to keep my current floor standers I'd used previously for my front L and R, and use the Tannoy bookshelves I picked up for the rears and the Tannoy...

Hello, Thanks in advance for reading and helping me. I have the following setup: AV-Receiver: Denon 4400H Front speakers: KEF Q 500 (8 ohm impedance) Centre speaker: KEF Q 200 (8 ohm impedance) Sub: B&W 610 Rear speakers: Q Acoustic 2010i (6 ohm impedance) I have not connected the rear...

Hi guys. I've owned my new Marantz SR6012 for a few weeks now and am finally getting to grips with all the settings and adjustments you can make to the AVR. I am only running a 2.1 set up at present until funding allows me to install at least a 5.1 set up. After reading the 311 page manual, I...

Hi - looking to get rid of my 10 year old sony receiver and get something thats a bit more HDMI savvy. Have identified the Pioneer HTP-075 as fitting my needs however the subwoofer is too damn big!! Its a passive system (I know) but I really dont need that much oomph anyway, I'm in a...

Hello all. Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I have read a lot of conflicting opinions. I have a Pioneer xcm32 mini hifi and the speakers have given up. Without thinking I have ordered a pair of Q Acoustics 3020's and have now noticed that the pioneers impedance is 8 ohm...
