  2. L pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_pad

    The L pad attenuates the signal by having two separate rheostats connected in an "L" configuration (hence the name). One rheostat is connected in series with the loudspeaker and, as the resistance of this rheostat increases, less power is coupled into the loudspeaker and the loudness of sound produced by the loudspeaker decreases.

  3. Constant-voltage speaker system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-voltage_speaker...

    Constant-voltage speaker systems are also commonly referred to as 25-, 70-, 70.7-, 100 or 210-volt speaker systems; distributed speaker systems; or high-impedance speaker systems. In Canada and the US, they are most commonly referred to as 70-volt speakers. In Europe, the 100 V system is the most widespread, with amplifier and speaker products ...

  4. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    Typical push–pull audio tube power amplifier, matched to loudspeaker with an impedance-matching transformer. Audio amplifiers typically do not match impedances, but provide an output impedance that is lower than the load impedance (such as < 0.1 ohm in typical semiconductor amplifiers), for improved speaker damping.

  5. Audio power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power

    Audio power is the electrical power transferred from an audio amplifier to a loudspeaker, measured in watts. The electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker, together with its efficiency , determines the sound power generated (with the rest of the electrical power being converted to heat).

  6. Electrical characteristics of dynamic loudspeakers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_characteristics...

    The electrical signal generated by the coil travels back along the speaker cable to the amplifier. Well-designed amplifiers have low output impedance so that this generated signal has minimal effect on the amplifier. Characteristically, solid state amplifiers have had much lower output impedances than tube amplifiers. So much so, that ...

  7. 12AU7 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12AU7

    This tube is essentially two 6C4/EC90s in the same envelope. However, this latter type is officially described in manufacturer's data as "a special quality R.F. power amplifier or oscillator for frequencies up to 150 MHz". [2] The 12AU7, on the other hand, is described as an "A.F. double triode". [3]

  8. Bi-wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-wiring

    Amplifier and loudspeaker with two elements and crossover networks. Top: normal connection. Bottom: bi-wiring. Loudspeaker bi-wired using banana plugs. Bi-wiring is a means of connecting a loudspeaker to an audio amplifier, primarily used in hi-fi systems. Normally, there is one pair of connectors on a loudspeaker and a single cable (two ...

  9. List of bass amplifier and loudspeaker manufacturers

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bass_amplifier_and...

    This article lists manufacturers of bass amplifiers, loudspeakers, and other amplification-related items such as preamplifiers. The amplifiers and loudspeakers used to amplify bass instruments (e.g., the bass guitar, double bass and similar instruments) are distinct from other types of amplification systems due to the particular challenges associated with low-frequency sound reproduction.
