"Le This is the voice coil inductance measured in millihenries (mH). The industry standard is to measure inductance at 1,000 Hz. As frequencies get higher there will be a rise in impedance above Re. This is because the voice coil is acting as an inductor. Consequently, the impedance of a speaker is not a fixed resistance, but can be represented as a curve that changes as the input frequency changes. Maximum impedance (Zmax) occurs at Fs."I'm trying to implement a Zobel on a Trusonic FR80. I would like to find the TS's for this speaker. Thanks...Tre'

Like from Parts Express. I use mine often for testing tolerence of caps and coils! Ron

Unfortunately, the effective Le and Re of the speaker's voice coil are going to change with increasing frequency. Fortunately, the Zobel circuits are not that sensitive so getting a Le and Re result at 1 kHz is good enough for sizing the Zobel. This is why there is typically a 25% factor in the rule of thumb equations for calculating the Zobel's capacitance and resistance. Martin
