Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for tuning loudspeakers to have complementary impedance characteristics. An example loudspeaker system includes an amplifier configured to generate an audio signal, and a plurality of speakers connected in parallel to the amplifier to receive the audio signal, wherein each speaker of the plurality of speakers has a unique impedance characteristic that, when combined with the impedance characteristics of the other speakers of the plurality of speakers, shows all speaker impedance characteristics to be complementary, resulting in a more level, or resistive, overall speaker system load impedance. This more level, or resistive, overall speaker system load impedance results in a more dynamic sound with more extended low end in comparison to conventional speaker systems.
