2.3.4 Stereo Mode Wiring

Typical input and output wiring is shown in Figure 2.8.

IMPORTANT: Turn off the amplifier and unplug its power cord.

INPUTS: Choose one of these options:

•Connect analog input wiring for both channels.

•Connect an AES/EBU digital signal to the AES/EBU connector.

OUTPUTS: Maintain proper polarity (+/–) on output connectors. Use Class 2 output wiring.

Figure 2.8 shows how to wire stereo speakers to the binding posts. Con- nect Channel 1 loudspeaker’s positive (+) lead to Channel 1 positive (red) terminal of amp; repeat for negative (–). Repeat Channel 2 wiring as for Channel 1.

To wire stereo speakers to the Speakon connectors, use one of these methods:

Method 1 (Table 1 and Figure 2.9): Wire one Speakon cable connector to two speakers. Insert the Speakon cable connector into the amplifier’s top Speakon connector.

Method 2 (Table 2 and Figure 2.10): Plug the Channel 1 speaker into the Channel 1 (top) Speakon connector, and plug the Channel 2 speaker into the Channel 2 (bottom) Speakon connector.
