Constant-voltage speaker system

Posted by Customer Support - TIC on

Constant-voltage speaker system From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Loudspeaker with attached step-down transformer for use on a constant-voltage system Constant-voltage speaker systems refer to networks of loudspeakers which are connected to an audio amplifier using step-up and step-down transformers to simplify impedance calculations and to minimize power loss over the speaker cables. They are more appropriately called high-voltage audio distribution systems.[1] The voltage is constant only in the sense that at full power, the voltage in the system does not depend on the number of speakers driven (as long the amplifier's maximum power is not exceeded).[2] Constant-voltage speaker systems are also commonly referred to as 25-, 70-, 70.7-, or 100-volt speaker systems; distributed speaker systems; or high-impedance...

What is a 70v sound system?

Posted by Henry Yeung on

70v system is a constant voltage distributed sound system, often used in commercial settings due to the ease of installation and design. Under the traditional loudspeaker system design, impedance load has to match the operable range of the amplifier. Since most loudspeakers are 8Ω and amplifiers can handle 4-16Ω, matching impedance often become a complex [...]
