4. INSTALLATION

4.1 Speaker connector

When combining several speakers/cabinets, you should bear in mind the resulting overall impedance. Here are some brief explanations about different kinds of connections:

Serial connection: The individual impedance values of the connected speakers are added up. If two 4-Ohm speakers are connected to one another, there is an overall impedance value of 8 Ohms.

Parallel connection: If speaker/cabinets with identical impedance values are connected in parallel, the overall nominal impedance is reversely proportional to the number of speakers, e.g. if you connect two speakers/cabinets, the nominal impedance is halved; if you connect three speakers/cabinets, the nominal impedance is one third of the individual speakers’ impedance; with four speakers, it’s one quarter, and so on. For example, this way you can turn two 8-Ohm systems into one 4-Ohm system.

If four or more speakers/cabinets need to be connected, this can be done using a serial parallel connection. With four speakers with an impedance value of 4 Ohms each, the resulting overall impedance does not change.

+Whenever possible, try to use thick and short speaker cables to minimize power loss. Don’t lay output cables near input cables.

Wiring options for loudspeakers are additionally explained in the following illustrations and tables.
