Resistors — buying guide

Choosing audio resistors

Resistors can set levels, provide attenuation or form part of a filter network. The resistance value and power rating must suit the circuit. Heat dissipation and clearance are especially relevant in passive speaker crossovers.

What to check before buying

  • Match resistance and tolerance to the circuit specification.
  • Select an appropriate power rating and allow ventilation.
  • Check body dimensions, lead spacing and mounting requirements.
