pretzelb Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I started to notice that with the C3 I can hear some subtle things in my better recordings at a lower volume level than the Image when coming out of my iPod. At first I thought it might because of the separate tweeter/sub design but how much could be the impedance different? I admit I don't have a firm grasp on impedance. My mini amp is out being updated to work with IEMs so I can't test with more power and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald1800 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I believe that the C3 impedance is 32 ohms. Donald1800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretzelb Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 I think the C3 is 32 and the Image is 50. What I was wondering is could that account for why I tend to increase the volume with the iPod. Or is that too close for the average person to hear and the difference is the hardware.

Donald1800 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I don't think that the impedance is causing any effects. 32 ohms is considered a medium impedance, I believe. The effects you describe most likely are caused by the inherent device sensitivity and accoustic frequency curve. Donald1800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
