Best Answer

Two reasons.

1...When impedance of source and destination match, power transfer is maximum.

2...If a long transmission line is involved, the characteristic impedance of the line must match the destination impedance, or reflections will occur on the line.

Audio amplifiers use no impedance matching. We use bridging. That means low output impedance and high input impedance.

Why do amplifiers have zero output impedance?

Good amplifiers have low output impedances. The reason is "impedance bridging". Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculation the damping of impedance bridging or power matching an interface connecting Zout and Zin".


What is the need of impedance matching?

Impedance matching is setting the input impedance (load) equal to the fixed output impedance (source) to which it is connected, in order to maximize the power transfer.Matching is obtained when Zload = Zsource.In audio and sound engineering we have really no impedance matching. There is only impedance bridging. Zload >> Zsource.Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".


Why is impedance matching used in electronics?

Impedance matching is used in electronics to get an electronic device with an input and output source to work. Impedance matching will give the electronic it's maximum transfer of voltage. An example of this are FM radio receivers.


Why emitter follower preferred to transforms as a impedance matching?

because it has high input impedance and low output impedance


Will a 4 ohm sub work on a 8 ohm system?

With system you mean the output impedance of an amplifier. No Problem to do this, but there are really no amplifiers with an output impedance of 8 ohms on the market. All loudspeaker amplifiers have an impedance of less than 0.5 ohm. Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".


What are the most used instrument amplifiers?

The most used instrument amplifiers are also some of the most popular amplifiers namely Marshall, Crate and Fox amplifiers. The impedance of these amplifiers does not need to match making it perfect for instrument use.
