13.3.1 MEASURING IMPEDANCE OF LOUDSPEAKERS<br />

We will start with a 5" woofer using Sinusoidal, our preferred choice, with the following<br />

Settings.<br />

Besides frequency range, which can be changed without side effects, those above are<br />

problem free settings for impedance measurements. We will experiment a little, pointing<br />

out difficulties that might arise. Let’s start with output level, which is a sensitive topic.<br />

13.3.2 SETTING THE RIGHT LEVEL<br />

The five curves of Fig.13.4 are taken at 5 different output levels, ranging from 10dBu<br />

to -10dBu in 5dB steps. The red curve refers to +10dBu, the blue to +5dBu, the<br />

remaining are substantially overlapped.<br />
