Speaker Cable Gauge and Power Loss Calculator
Speaker Cable Gauge and Power Loss: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers cable length. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Speaker Cable Gauge and Power Loss Calculator is a planned calculator in the technology section of Super Calculator, covering electronics.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: cable length, gauge, load impedance and acceptable loss.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: loss dB = 20*log10((R load + R cable)/R load), R cable from resistivity, length and gauge.
Written for installers picking a wire gauge for a long run.
