I was wondering about this problem:
I have some different headphones here with some different specs.
AKG K44
32 Ohms
115db/V
Marshall Major
32 Ohms
115db/mW
Yamaha HPH-200
48 Ohms
Yamaha only says SPL: 98.5dB
(I thought: ok! Nobody talks about efficiency then those are db/V - but then I realize that most people on the internet say this are 98.5dB/mW, what seems correct because Yamaha's are easier to drive than Akg's. I mean with the same power they seem to give more volume, but not more than Marshall Majors)
My question is: How much db/mW is the efficiency of Akg's K44 then?
First I thought
V = I . R
Then
1V / 32 Ohms = I = 0.03125 A
Power = V . I = 0.03125 W = 31.25mW
Ok! I have now the efficiency: 115db/31.25mW
But then I realized that here we are not talking about a continuum voltage.
In fact the imput when sensitivity tests are made is an alternate wave of 1kHz as far as I know.
Then: How much db/mW is the efficiency of Akg's K44?
Thanks! And greetings from Argentina.
