  • Page 12: Impedance: A General Overview

    IMPEDANCE: A GENERAL OVERVIEW The following terms will be helpful in understanding the information in this section: Impedance: The resistance of a device to the flow of alternating current. Often used to rate the resistance of a speaker's voice coil. Ohm: A unit of electrical resistance equal to that of a conductor in which a current of one ampere is produced by a potential of one volt across its terminals.

    IMPEDANCE (continued) one 8 ohm enclosure, you know you can add one more 8 ohm speaker safely (8 divided by 2 = 4). Although much less common, you could also add one, or even two, 16 ohm cabinets: two 16 ohm cabinets in parallel have the same total impedance as one 8 ohm speaker.

To do so, plug one end of the questionable cable into your speaker cabinet, and then touch the phone plug on the other end to the two terminals (+ and –) of the battery, contacting the tip and sleeve.
