An 8 Ohm speaker with a 1 Watt minimum power rating is recommended for use with this decoder as it comes out of the package. If you are using an 8 Ohm speaker with a power rating of 2 Watts or less, you must reduce your master volume to prevent speaker failure or amplifier stress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe amplifier(s) on a WOWSound product can support speakers with impedance ratings as low as 4 Ohms. A reduction in impedance will require a higher power dissipation rating (more Watts) on said speaker. The minimum power requirement for a 4 Ohm speaker is 4 Watts. If you are using a 4 Ohm speaker with a power rating of 4 Watts or less, you must reduce your master volume to prevent speaker failure or amplifier stress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeaker enclosures greatly increase speaker performance in most cases - improving the apparent volume by more efficiently directing the flow of air and reducing or eliminating destructive interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Manual for this item:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehttp:\/\/www.tcsdcc.com\/public_html\/Customer_Content\/Literature\/Decoders\/WOWSound\/WOWSteam\/WOW101-Steam.pdf\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Train Control Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51813680873758,"sku":"TCS1517","price":111.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/8069\/9166\/files\/52b7f1_cf61b462e9cb4a12871e9da98c20d563_mv2__77912.1764885636.1280.1280.jpg?v=1777912305","url":"https:\/\/mountain-subdivision-hobbies-2.myshopify.com\/products\/tcs-1517-wow101-ka-steam-dcc-sound-decoder-with-keep-alive-version-4-6","provider":"Mountain Subdivision Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
