8 before you purchase loudspeaker wire, check local building codes to make sure that the wire is rated to comply with applicable local safety codes such as ul or cl-2. Use only stranded wire no thinner than awg 16. For runs longer than 100 feet, we recommend mini- mum of awg 14. When pulling wire, t...

10 what about phase shift due to frequency dependent travel times down the speaker cable? Measurements show that 100 hz waves will be delayed about 20 billionths of a second behind 10 khz waves when traveling to the end of a 10 foot speaker cable. Since the cilia of the ear requires 25,000 times lon...

11 ideally the loudspeaker would be among the first components selected when assembling a play- back system. This would allow the user to choose an amplifier capable of delivering adequate amounts of current into the frequency dependent load presented by the loudspeaker. However, when upgrading a sy...

12 how much power will your new speakers need? That ultimately depends on your listening environment and musical tastes. As little as five watts per channel should drive them to a level satisfactory for background music. A typical 45 watt per channel receiver may fill a room with the compressed mid-...

13 when an amplifier is unable to fulfill your loudspeakers demands, a damaging harmonic spike may be leaked to the high frequency drivers. Another important point regarding loudness is that the db scale is a logarithmic one. This means that a 150 watt amplifier will potentially sound only twice as ...
