Abstract

A method of harmonizing the impedances of an audio amplifier and a loudspeaker interconnected therewith, the audio amplifier including a line amplifier and a positive feedback circuit for compensating for the counter electromotive force of the loudspeaker. A voice coil of the loudspeaker is mechanically driven for generating an electric signal at input terminals of the loudspeaker. Then, the amplification degree of the line amplifier or the positive feedback circuit is adjusted to reduce the signal voltage between the input terminals of the loudespeaker to a minimum, during the circulation of the generated signal through the positive feedback circuit and the line amplifier.
