Within the system operation limits, the result is equal to 1 in almost all cases.
The only exception is given by a line with two branches including horn speakers only and
connected to a 500 W amplifier. In this case, it is advisable to add two EOL (in parallel) to
the end of each line branch (to fall within the correct measurement range).
Anyway, to know how many EOL are needed in a line, it is necessary to calculate the total
impedance
(Ztot)
by applying the following formula (parallel impedances), adjusted with
the EOL number
(Neol)
:

The total impedance must respect the constraints about EOL.
EOL number shall not exceed the maximum amount (as indicated previously).

In case of a single line having a particularly low impedance load or lines including
horn speakers (open circuits at 20 Hz), it will be necessary to add more EOL in
parallel.
In case the line is divided into more branches, in each branch the EOL number
needs to be the same, in order to guarantee a proper monitoring and respect
the following formula:
Ztot =

The total impedance (

) resulting from the parallel between the load impedance
already present in the line (

) and EOL (

= 200 Ω) is easily obtainable by the
following formula:
