Amplifiers are rated to operate within a range of impedances. Typically, a domestic amplifier will drive a minimum impedance of 8 Ohms or 4 Ohms. Using speakers that have an impedance lower than the amplifier rating is likely to increase distortion and can damage the outputs of the amplifier if the levels are too high.

Using speakers that are significantly higher than the minimum rating will not cause damage to either the amplifier or speakers but it will reduce the power that is delivered to the speakers. In most domestic systems, this limitation of the power output is not likely to be an issue.

Any amplifier rated to drive into 4 Ohms will work well with speakers of between 4 and 8 Ohms. An amplifier with an 8 Ohm rating should be used only with speakers of 8 Ohms or higher.

How do you get just front and surround speakers to play on a Denon avr-1508?

There are no surround modes that quickly turn off the subwoofer, center channel and surround back speakers, but leave the surround speakers (side) speakers on. You will need to go into the System Setup -> Sp 2. In 3.0p -> Speaker Setup menu to select Center Speaker 'None', Surround Speaker ('Large' or 'Small'), Surround Back Speaker 'None' and Subwoofer 'No'. If you have a subwoofer and want sound to come out of the all of the speakers when you are listening to a non-surround source such as a CD, use the 5CH/7CH Stereo DSP simulation.


How do you hookup your mclaren home theater surround sound to your xbox360?

You need the to place the red and white jacks to your amplifier, mine for example go to the line in port and I select line on the amp. the yellow one carries pictures a either goes to your AV port or scart plug. If you are using HDMI the yellow one can be discarded.


Why does the right speaker on your stereo have static but the other one is fine?

There's a couple of things I can think of right away. First is loose wiring or wires touching each other (shorting), the other is that the speaker's blown. Then if your stereo has rotary speaker select switches or pushbutton switches for input, bass boost, etc., they may be dirty. Try working them back and forth several times to see if the static clears up. If not, you may just have a blown part in your pre-amp/amplifier which would require repair.

Can you replace an 8 ohm speaker with a 4 ohm speaker?

Only if your amplifier is capable of driving a 4 ohm speaker. Some have a switch on the back to select 4 or 8ohm speakers. Details should either be printed some where on the back of the amp or the instruction manual


How much voltage or current should be applied for impedance measurement to a human body?

Since the objective is to find out the impedance between two points, it is advisable to have a meter that has a high input impedance; the higher the better. This is because when the probes are applied across the "impedance" to be measured, the input impedance of the meter is effectively in parallel with the measured impedance. So, if the input impedance of the meter is infinite, the accuracy of measurement will be 100%. Now, let us take a look at the situation on the human body: If the 2 points for measurement are selected on the same acupuncture meridian, the impedance will be lower than if you select one point on the meridian and one point randomly on the other parts of the body. If you select 2 points (not on any meridian) randomly on the human body, the impedance will even be higher. If you are using electrodes with sticky pads for skin contact, the result will be different from that measured with acupuncture needles puncturing the 2 points. Hope this is helpful. K. Kit Sum.


Can you user 7.2 receiver with 5.1 speakers?

How do you create a battery operated sound system to go inside something?

First, decide what your audio source is going to be, and design an amplifier which will take the output of that source and amplify it to the levels you need to drive your chosen speakers. This amplifier will have to be capable of operating at a frequency greater than the highest one that you want to be capable of amplifying. Next, select a battery which will supply sufficent current at the rated voltage of the amplifier for the length of time that you need the system to run. Finally wire it up and install everything inside of this "something" that you mentioned.

What amplifier do you need for a technics stereo graphic equalizer SH-E50?

I have one of these graphic equalizers and if your amp has a dedicated output and input for a graphic via a phono connector then it will work. If it doesn't then you could add a phono connector switch. This device would have inputs for all your devices via phono connectors (cd player, computer, satellite receiver etc) and it would have one output which would go into the graphic equalizer then out of it into one input on your amplifier. You would then select the individual device on the phono connector switch which you are going to play and select the solitary input on your amplifier.

What is the difference between an amplifier and a receiver?

Answerit is tempting to compare a repeater to an amplifier, but the comparision is inaccurate. according to Forouzan, an amplifier cannot discriminate between the intended signal and noise; it amplifies equally everything fed into it. a repeater does not amplify the signal; it regenerates the signal. when it receives a weakened or corrupted signal, it creates a copy, bit for bit, at the original strength.a repeater is a regenerator; not an amplifiera repeater forwards every bit; it has no filtering capabilitya repeater connects segments of a LAN


How do you connect an itouch to a hifi?

you need a phono/mono plug to a 3.5mm jack. on the back of your amplifier, plug the red and white/black phono/mono plugs into the inputs commonly labelled aux. white/black into white/black and red into red. on the front of your amplifier, select aux and just plug and play.
