acidbasement Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 So, I want to build an L-Pad based headphone adapter so I can connect headphones to the speaker outputs of an amp. This is mainly for S&Gs, but if it works great then I have the added bonus of having my innate and poverty-enhanced cheapness vindicated. I was planning to use this information from Meier to optimize the impedance for my headphones: http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/ - click on "tips and tricks" and look under the impedance optimization title. One thing I can't figure out (yes, I'm challenged with these types of calculations) is how many watts the resistors should need to be able to disspate. Let's assume I have an amp that maxes out around 50W into 8 ohms. Anyone?
acidbasement Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Posted August 27, 2010 Uh, I guess I'll just use some big ones and see how hot they get then.
acidbasement Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Posted August 28, 2010 Beauty, thanks! That spells it out about as simply as possible.
