2.1Wiring
Fig. 2.1: Connecting an amplifier
+Always mute your amp before connecting the speakers.
Please follow these steps to connect your CE1000P to a power amp:
sMute your amp before connecting the speakers.
sLoosen the plus screw (red ring with a “+”) and the minus screw (black ring with a
sInsert the plus cord of the speaker cable connecting the amp to your CE1000P into the plus opening.

+Make sure that all connections are done properly. Speaker cables are
+Always make sure that bare wire ends never touch the open end of another speaker cable, speaker connectors or metal parts of your amp.
2.2Length and diameter of loudspeaker cables
Loudspeaker cables whose diameter is too small can limit the power amp performance considerably. The longer the cable, the greater the problem. As a result, users often simply “turn up” the amp, which can lead to loudspeaker damage. For most applications, this will not be necessary. Cable diameter should be at least 2.5 - 4.0 mm (AWG 6).
2.3 Power amp rating and impedance
Selecting the right amp can turn out to be rather difficult. Therefore, stick to the following rule of thumb: the power rating of your amp should be roughly twice the speaker load capacity. A speaker rated at 300 Watts continuous performance can easily be powered by an amp rated at 600 Watts output power. An optimal addition to your speaker system would be the BEHRINGER EUROPOWER EP1500 power amp, for example.
