Remarks
- General note on 8 Ohm impedance: Some loudspeakers work internally with 4 Ohm and achieve the 8 Ohm at the connection by an additional 4 Ohm wire resistor (usually with square ceramic coating) at the connection.
- I don't know if this is also the case with this model. If you have a 4 Ohm capable amplifier, you can convert such speakers:
- Unscrew the bass speaker, bridge the series resistor and change the impedance on the nameplate to 4 ohms (changing the nameplate is important because a 4 ohm speaker can overload an amplifier with 8 ohms minimum impedance, e.g. Mitsubishi DA-R45P and DA-R47P).
- The advantage is that an amplifier will perform better at 4 ohms than at 8 ohms.
The disadvantage is, as already mentioned, that the speaker can no longer be connected to all amplifiers.
