CONSTANT VOLTAGE VS 8-OHM
SPEAKER SYSTEMS
A constant voltage speaker system differs from a traditional
8-ohm speaker system in that it uses a step-up transformer
at the audio source to raise the voltage and lower the
current on the transmission line. At the speaker end, a step-
down transformer converts the signal back to a normal
speaker level voltage. This reduces power loss during
transmission, which allows for the use of longer speaker wire
runs using smaller gauge wire.
Additionally, a constant voltage speaker system allows for
the use of multiple speakers on each channel, without the
need for complicated impedance calculations and
configurations. In a constant voltage system, all speakers on
a given channel are connected in parallel and the
complicated impedance calculations are replaced by simple
wattage calculations.
For example, if you want to connect two speakers per
channel in a traditional 8-ohm speaker system, you must
either connect them in series, which results in an overall 16-
