3.5Choose Output Wire and Connectors

Crown recommends using pre-built or pro- fessionally wired, high-quality, two- or four- conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. If your ampliﬁ er includes Neutrik® Speakon® outputs, use male Speakon NL4C connectors for your output connectors (see Figure 3.5). If your ampliﬁ er includes barrier block outputs, you may use spade lugs or bare wire for your output connectors (see Figure 3.6). If your ampliﬁ er includes binding post outputs, you may use banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire for your output connectors (see Figure 3.7).To prevent the possibility

of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.

Using the guidelines below, select the appro- priate size of wire based on the distance from ampliﬁ er to speaker.

Distance	Wire Size
up to 25 ft.	16 gauge
26-40 ft.	14 gauge
41-60 ft.	12 gauge
61-100 ft.	10 gauge
101-150 ft.	8 gauge
151-250 ft.	6 gauge
