Headphone Impedance And Sensitivity Ratings - Samson C-que 8 Owner's Manual

HEADPHONE IMPEDANCE AND SENSITIVITY RATINGS

Virtually all headphones that terminate in a stereo 1/4" plug can be used with the C•que 8 Headphone Amplifier. This
chart provides a partial listing of some of the more popular models, along with their impedance and sensitivity ratings.
As described on page 7 of this manual, headphones with lower impedances (or higher sensitivity) will sound louder as
compared to other, higher impedance (or lower sensitivity) headphones at the same channel Volume setting. Samson
Technologies has no connection with any of these manufacturers, nor do we endorse any particular models for use with
the C•que 8. This is simply a reference listing for your convenience. For more information about any of these headphones,
contact the manufacturer directly.
