The damping factor of a power amplifier is a metric used to describe the amplifier’s ability to control the loudspeaker. It’s basically calculated by dividing the amplifier’s output impedance into the loudspeaker’s input impedance when the speaker is operating near resonance. It’s a really important number to know when you’re making a decision on matching …

An audio power amplifier′s damping factor is defined as the ratio of the load impedance to the output impedance of the amplifier. Example 1: Amp output impedance at 1kHz is known to be: 0.25 Ohms Impedance of the test load is 8 Ohms (at 1kHz) Damping Factor = (Load Impedance) / (Output Impedance) = 8 / 0.25 = 32 (dimensionless ratio)
