Zobels, thoughts

a) effective choice for dealing with impedance rise for mid /tw crossover range, or

b) yes, but superior end design / sound without one in place

c) depends upon…

  • It really depends on the drivers and the system design. Sometimes it helps the rolloff by damping the knee, even if it's not affecting the natural Le curve.

  • Generally speaking a Zobel's intended purpose is to flatten the impedance, which is not really an important feature if using a modern amp. If using a tube amp, you may want to flatten the impedance to keep a near 8 ohm impedance across the spectrum.


    If it helps the response of your system, then by all means use a Zobel.
