Revision #8479
What is meant by speaker sensitivity?
- Speaker sensitivity is the level produced by the speaker at one meter when supplied with one watt of power from an amplifier.
- It’s a way of describing how well the speaker produces acoustic energy, based on a given input. The level is measured in dB SPL – this shorthand for ‘sound pressure level’ – sound is fluctuations in air pressure, so any time you see SPL, this means ‘sound in the real world’.
- So, let’s say we have a speaker with an 87dB sensitivity, and a speaker with a 90dB sensitivity – the 90dB speaker is going to be considerably louder, as every 3dB added represents a doubling of power.
What is a crossover?
- Most speakers will have multiple drivers. A driver is sometimes called a transducer, which is a device that turns one type of energy into another – in this case, electrical energy to sound energy.
- In a loudspeaker, it is often the case that we might want multiple drivers – one to handle low-end, one to handle the mid-range, and one to handle the treble.
- This latter driver is often called a tweeter. To get the benefit of this arrangement, we need to split the signal into different frequency components. The circuit that does this is called a crossover.
What is impedance?
- You will often see impedance mentioned when researching speakers, and amplifiers.
- Impedance is resistance measured at a given frequency, given as a value in Ohms (Ω), and is incredibly important to consider when setting up an audio system as it determines the ‘load’ placed on an amplifier by the speakers.
- For example, let’s say we have an amplifier that is rated to deliver 100W into an 8Ω speaker load.
- If we were to then use speakers with an impedance of 4Ω with the same amplifier, the amp would then need to supply 200W as a halving of the impedance results in a doubling of the required power due to the reduction of the load on the amplifier.
- In a situation such as this, if the amp can’t supply the required power for a lower impedance, then it can result in overheating and damage to the amplifier and speakers.
- For this reason, it is important to pay attention to amplifier specifications, and suggested impedance ratings.

- Revision # 8480
No sound through one or both channels.
- Check that the amplifier is turned on.
- Ensure that the correct input source is selected on the amplifier.
- Confirm that all connections between the amplifier and loudspeakers are secure.
- Check that the connections between the source equipment and amplifier are secure.
- Check the polarity of the loudspeaker connections.
- Check that the volume control is set correctly on the amplifier.
There is a distorted or inconsistent sound.
- Confirm that all connections between the amplifier and loudspeakers are secure.
- Check the polarity of the loudspeaker connections.
- Check that the connections between the source equipment and amplifier are secure.
