Configuration * Adjustments

impedance transformation

The impedance transformation allows to adjust the loudspeaker to the amplifier at its optimum.
The impedances of amplifiers and loudspeakers attune only in exceptional cases, especially as the impedance of most loudspeakers is changing frequency-dependent. Even if the amplifier has equal connections for different output impedances (i.e. 8 + 4 Ohm), the steps are nomally too rough for reaching a best possible impedance adjustment.

Impedance downward transformation

· optimal adjustment in full range mode of the loudspeaker impedance
· use the 8-Ohm input as input, also at amplifier input impedances above 8 Ohm (i.e. OTL- tube amplifiers)
· use the higher equivalent output for amplifiers with output transformers

Impedance upward transformation

· optimal adjustment in full range mode of the loudspeaker impedance
· Input is the connection, that conforms the impedance optimum of the amplifier or amplifier with output transformer.
· Use the higher quality output at amplifiers with output transformers.

Level transformation at electrically seperated loudspeaker chassis

· for optimizing the loudspeaker frequency response
· for better adaption of the loudspeaker to the room acoustic
· for better adjustment of the audio system configuration
· the higher the connection value to the loudspeakers, the higher the volume
