itsikhefez Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi! The brochure says 8ohms but after my recap the binding posts measure 3.8 ohm on my DMM. Did I screw anything up or does yours measure the same? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Go to the Technical/Modification section of the forum, look for Impedance Curves topic subsection. You'll find the impedance curve for the Quartet and others. Impedance dips down to about 4.0 ohms or lower. Your measurement which is at d.c. or zero Hertz is very likely correct.

WMcD Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 You'll note that the graph doesn't show the impedance at at d.c. or zero Hertz, which is what your meter is showing. There is theory here. It is that at some point above resonance the inductive and capacitive effects anul and thus the bottoming out of the impedance shows the voice coil resistance.

itsikhefez Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Thanks I'll take a look there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
