Effect Ohms Have on db and Speaker Sensitivity


My speakers are rated at 97db into 6 Ohms.

Is there a mathematical equation to determine the sensitivity at 8 Ohms?

Thank you,

Still 97dB, assuming the manufacturer is using the conventional definition of sensitivity -- 97dB at one watt measured at one meter. For a 6 ohm impedance, the voltage for one watt is 2.4 volts. When the impedance swings to 8 ohms then 2.83 volts is one watt of power consumed and 97db SPL will still be measured at one meter.
