Impedance Matching

Quick fact

Impedance matching ensures that as much power as possible is transferred from one system to another, without unnecessary losses or reflections.

Why this is interesting

Have you ever noticed that a speaker sounds muffled when connected to an amplifier? That’s often because the electrical and mechanical systems aren’t ‘in sync’—a problem called impedance mismatch.
