An ohm is a measure of resistance to electrical currant. Resistance relates to audio in many ways, like determining how many speakers/monitors you could wire in parallel without risking damage to your amplifier, getting the most power out of your amplifier (as power amplifiers can produce more power into lower impedance loads), or sending a high impedance signal (such as a guitar signal) down a snake to the mixer (a DI box is needed to convert the high impedance signal to one of lower impedance so that high frequency information in the signal is not degraded by the long cable run.
The link below will provide you with more information on the subject. Note that the article refers to "impedance" which is the term used for resistance in AC circuits but still measured in Ohms.

What is the difference between Ohms and Ohms CT in impedance of an audio transformer?
The difference in between Ohms and Ohms CT is that in Ohms CT it has CT at the end.
What is Impedance 10 Ohms?
Impedance of 10 Ohms refers to the measure of opposition that a circuit presents to the flow of alternating current (AC). It encompasses both resistance and reactance, which can be influenced by capacitors and inductors in the circuit. A lower impedance, like 10 Ohms, typically allows more current to flow, making it significant in applications such as audio systems and RF circuits where matching impedance is crucial for optimal performance.
How is 0.016 k ohms stated?
0.016 k ohms can be stated as 16 ohms. This is because "k" stands for kilo, which is a factor of 1,000, so 0.016 k ohms is equivalent to 0.016 × 1,000 ohms. Therefore, 0.016 k ohms = 16 ohms.
How do you calculate 1.67 ohms?
ohms law.
What is the total resistance of a 6-ohm resistor and a 12-ohm resistor in a parallel series?
In series like so ---6 ohms ---- 12 ohms --- , the total resistance is just 6 ohms + 12 ohms.assuming you mean in parallel like this:_|---6 ohms-----|-|~|-_|---12 ohms---|then the resistance of this can be calculated like so:1/6 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R (where R is the resistance of the circuit as a whole)2/12 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R3/12 ohms = 1/R1/4 ohms = 1/Rso R = 4 ohmsA few notes, if the resistors are in parallel the total resistance will always be less than or equal to the lowest resistance in parallel (i.e 6 ohms in parallel with 12 ohms will have resistance less than 6 ohms).Also if two resistances in parallel are the same, then the resistance is half of the resistance of both resistors (i.e. 1/2 ohms + 1/2 ohms = 1/R; 1 = 1/R, R=1 ohm which is half of 2 ohms).This process can be extended to 2 or more resistors in parallel.i.e if we had a 6 ohm, 6 ohm and 12 ohm resistor in parallel we could go1/6 ohms + 1/6 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R(1/6 ohms + 1/6 ohms) + 1/12 ohms = 1/R1/3 ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R4/12ohms + 1/12 ohms = 1/R5/12 ohms = 1/Rso R = 12/5 ohms or 2.4 ohms
What is the difference between Ohms and Ohms CT in impedance of an audio transformer?
The difference in between Ohms and Ohms CT is that in Ohms CT it has CT at the end.
If an amplifier has an output of 350 watts rms 8 ohms what is the output at 4 ohms?
There is no amplifier with an output impedance of 8 ohms or 4 ohms on the market. All audio amplifiers really have an output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms. Scroll down to related links and look at "Amplifiers, loudspeakers and ohms"
Do the ohms on speakers have to match the ohms of the amp?
In fact there is no "8 ohm output" on an audio power amplifier and no Zout = Zin. In audio technology voltage bridging is the normal connection method where Zout < Zin. Read the link: "8 Ohm Output" and "150 Ohm Input" - What is that?
What are the input and output impedances of the Urei 1176LN compressor?
The Urei 1176LN compressor features an input impedance of approximately 600 ohms, which is typical for professional audio equipment. The output impedance is around 200 ohms. These impedances ensure proper matching with various audio sources and destinations, facilitating optimal signal transfer and maintaining audio quality.
What happens if you connect 3 ohms impedance speakers to a 8 ohms impedancece amplifier?
Sorry, but there is really no amplifier on the market with 8 ohms output impedance. The output impedance of a power amplifier is always less than 0.5 ohms. We use no impedance matching. We use voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units - Power amplifier and passive loudspeaker".
Can you match a 6 ohms impedance amplifiers with 4 ohms speakers?
There is really no 3 ohms amplifier on the market with an output impedance of three ohms for power matching. You will find there 0.3 ohm or less for voltage bridging. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units - Power amplifier and passive loudspeaker".
What is the Difference between 4 ohm to 8 ohm output?
There is really no amplifier on the market which has an output impedance of 4 ohms or 8 ohms. The impedance of an amplifier is always less than 0.5 ohms. We do not use matching, we use bridging when we connect the amplifier to the loudspeaker. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two audio units".
How do you reduce the ohms from 4 ohm to 2 ohm ON A 1000 WATT KICKER AMP MONO BLOCK IM RUNNING 2-15 AUDIO PIPE SUBS IN A SEALED BOX. THIS QUESTION IS FOR CAR AUDIO?
put 2 speakers in series
Can a 900 watt 2 ohms amp power two 350 nominal subs in parallel?
Your amplifier has no 2 ohms output impedance. The output impedance will be smaller than 0.5 ohms. Put your subs in parallel. In audio we only use amplifier and loudpeaker bridging. Don't believe the myth of matching. Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".
Are 8 ohm speakers for the home stereo and 4 ohm speakers for the car?
I am also looking for a better answer to this question. I have always known that almost all car speakers were 4 ohms, unless talking about subwoofers and/or dual coiled speakers, and that home speakers were 8 ohms. And until recently have thought this to be true. Until I looked on the back of my dads pair of Dynaudio speakers and saw that the impedence was 4 ohms. Now I am completely confused. Initially I thought it was due to the Voltage and Current that Car audio lacks and Home Audio has plenty of and then I see this!!! LOL
What is 3000 ohms in k ohms?
3000 ohms are 3 kiloohms.
What is 97 k ohms in ohms?
97 k ohms is equivalent to 97,000 ohms. Just multiply the value in kiloohms by 1,000 to convert it to ohms.
