11. The damping factor of solid state amplifiers is generally very large and ideal for damping the speakers. 12. However, most of these will be improved by lowering output impedance and hence improving damping factor . 13. Therefore the choice of different loudspeakers will lead to different damping factors when coupled with the same amplifier. 14. With a single pole filter, it is not possible to control the loop frequency and damping factor independently. 15. However, some speakers require an amplifier with a low damping factor to reproduce rich, full-bodied sound. 16. A properly adjusted damping factor can control this free vibration of the moving structures and improve the sound of the driver. 17. Ideally, the natural frequency should be high and the damping factor should be near 0.707 ( critical damping ). 18. Typical modern solid-state amplifiers with negative feedback tend to have high damping factors , above 50 and sometimes above 150. 19. I need this to figure out its damping factor .

However, the damping factor at any particular frequency will vary, since driver voice coils are complex impedances whose values vary with frequency.
