4 ohm setting

[Jameson24]

I have switched from a marantz av receiver to the umc 200. My speakers are 4ohm and on the marantz I could adjust my ohm load. Is there a setting on the umc that needs to be changed? I haven't been able to locate an option. Or does the processor do this automatically? Thanks in advance. Merry Christmas!

The UMC-200 is a “pre” amplier and does not drive the speakers directly. As such, there is no such setting and no need to worry about it.

Thanks for the response. I'm planning on buying a basx150 to power my center and already have a Peachtree 220 for my mains (I run a 3.1). I haven't seen any settings on the amp side.. so does the amp know the impedance? Apologize for the ignorance on the matter, just trying to learn

Your fine, you don’t have to adjust the amp. It will see the load and supply power to your speakers.

So glad you’ve stopped by, I hope you’ll become a forum member and hang out with us. Ive learned so much over the years and nett many nice and knowledgeable friends while I was at it.

Merry Christmas

To reaffirm what nick has stated, both of the amps you’ll be using are 4 ohm stable and there’s no need for concern.

Enjoy... and welcome to the Emotiva Lounge...!!!
