The speaker's internal crossover presents different electrical
characteristics to each cable so that one cable carries the signal
going to the woofers while the other cable carries the signal to the
midrange and tweeter.
Does this imply that the amp sees 2 different loads ?
Or that the cables

Many thanks - but the 16bit ADC has a +/- 10V range so I know the exact

to work out amplitudes. Calibrating is obviously not an optimal
