Sound Tips (loudspeaker)

*Loudspeaker*: This is an apparatus that converts electrical impulses into sound.

*Speaker Impedance*: This is the load a speaker places on an amplifier

*Impedance*: This is the effective resistance of an electrical circuit.

The relationship between impedance (resistance), Current, Voltage, and Power are determined by Ohms Law.

*Ohm*: is a unit of electrical resistance

*Type of Speaker Connections*

*Series*: the speaker resistance (ohm) increases and results in less volume. Example: two 8ohm = 16ohm

*Parallel*: the resistance of the speaker reduces and equals more volume. Example: two 8ohm = 4ohm.
