AH5040CD INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SPEAKER CABLE RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

Wire Gauges (8-ohm operation)

For very short distance speaker cable runs (less than 25') #16-Guage, stranded, twisted pair speaker cable may be used. For speaker cable runs between 25' and 75', #14-Guage, stranded, twisted pair speaker cable is recommended. For speaker cable runs greater than 75' #12-Guage, stranded, twisted pair speaker cable is necessary.

The AH5040CD uses (2) SpeakonTM NL-4 connectors. Both connectors are paralleled with pins 1+ and 1- as the speaker input. Pins 2+ and 2- are paralleled to allow "daisy chaining" to other AH5040CD’s.

Check the labeling on the Speakon cable connectors for the Speakon wiring diagram.

The figure below shows the location of the access holes for the Speakon connectors.

The connection wiring should be routed through the access holes (as shown above) and attached to the Speakon connectors. Allow an adequate service loop for this connection to allow tilt of the loudspeaker.

Weep-holes (for drainage) are located on the same side as the input connectors. If the speaker is tilted above parallel to the ground, the speaker should be installed with the weep holes down for water drainage.
