4. CONNECTIONS

WARNING: To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not connect the loudspeaker with the amplifier switched on. The protective cover over the terminal strip is a safety

feature per CE requirements. Replace this cover after making the signal connections.

1.Remove the insulating cover from the loudspeaker input terminal strip.

2.The positive (+) input terminal of the loudspeaker connects to the positive (+) output of your power amplifier.

3.The negative (–) terminal of the loudspeaker connects to the negative (–) output of your power amplifier.

4.Using a small phillips screwdriver, secure the connections.

5.Replace the insulating cover over the loudspeaker input terminal strip.

times the nominal conductor diameter in millimeters.

• For cable lengths over 200 feet / 60 m at 8 ohms, and over 100 feet / 30 m at 4 ohms, the conductor sizes needed for less than 0.5 dB power losses are rarely practical for physical and cost reasons. As a practical compromise for these situations the recommended conductor gauge is 10 AWG or 25 metric.
