Dimensioning cables for passive speakers.

Power cables for not amplified speakers.

Dimensioning of the cables to connect amplifier and speakers considering important factors related to the sound reproduction.
A right dimensioning of these links keeps to aceptable levels the resistance, the inductance, the losses and the resultant damping factor.

Data input
RMS power to transfer to the speaker.

W RMS

From music power : W RMS = W / 2

From peak-to-peak power : W RMS = W / 4

Nominal impedance of the speaker.

Ohm

Maximum loss allowed in the cable.
