By impedance, it’s the old “1/8 rule”; basically your cable should measure resistance at 1/8th (or less) resistance than the transducer to prevent unwanted alteration of the audio signal. In a single-DD, BA or Planar driver this matters far, far less than a hybrid. Most decent cables will measure somewhere beween 0.7-1.0 ohms resistance in my experience.

In my own database majority of cables there are under 0.3ohm.

As for the impedance thing, here is more detail.

Source impedance effect on transducer frequency response Does the source impedance, that is, the impedance from both the transducer cable AND the OUTPUT Impedance from the amp combined have any effect on the frequency response? If so, are there any criteria for it to happen? Does it matter to you as a buyer/consumer? 1.The source impedance CAN have an effect on the FR and thus, what we are hearing from our setup. 2.1: There are requirements for it to happen. First, you need a transducer with …
