HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT AMPLIFIERThe power amplifier must be able to supply twice the RMS driver power. This 3 dB headroom is necessary to handle the peaks that are common to musical programs. When the amplifier clips those peaks, high distortion arises and this may damage the transducer due to excessive heat. The use of compressors is a good practice to reduce music dynamics to safe levels.

FINDING VOICE COIL TEMPERATUREIt is very important to avoid maximum voice coil temperature. Since moving coil resistance (R ) varies with temperature according to a well known law, E

we can calculate the temperature inside the voice coil by measuring the voice coil DC resistance:

T , T = voice coil temperatures in °C.A B

R , R = voice coil resistances at temperatures T and T , respectively.A B A B

a = voice coil wire temperature coefficient at 25 °C.25
