Re: Using transformers to up the Q of extended range drivers .....

Hey Mike!


Say you had a driver with Fs = 50 Hz
Qts = 0.5
Target Qts = 1 @ 50 Hz
Using added resistance (or not) to up Q
If you want to maintain the 8 Ohm load (primary)
Is ther a way to utilize a transformer to negate
the loss inherent with just the resistor ??????

In order to maintain the 8 ohm load for the amplifier, the transformer would have to be a 1:1, in which case there's no impedance transformation. All you'd have would be the winding resistance of the transformer to increase the output impedance of the amplifier, which would give you the same loss you'd have if you'd just used a resistor.
