While an 11-ohm load facilitates excessive voltage sensitivity, it additionally implies that the Maytak M6 are fairly delicate in direction of output impedance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With loudspeakers, the rule of thumb is to maintain output impedance 8 occasions decrease than the load, so with the M6, this interprets to 1.4 ohms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One should additionally take into account that these are multi-driver IEMs with non-linear electrical impedance, so excessive impedance drive will work together with them and trigger shifts within the frequency response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total, driving the Maytak M6 is a moderately simple affair if the above concerns are saved in thoughts. After all, while Snowsky Retro Nano had sufficient drive and was satisfying to take heed to, one thing higher-end just like the Valkyrie offered a palpable enchancment in virtually each
