70V "Transformer-Coupled" Speakers

The Black Max series was designed to drive only 70V constant voltage type speaker loads. The use of low-impedance speakers may cause the amplifier to engage its protection circuits and shut down or limit ampli- fier function. The speaker terminals can accept up to a #10 AWG wire or spade lug and have integral clamping plates which make wiring easier. The polarity of each set of speaker outputs (A & B) is indicated with a "+" and "-" sign. Use these indicators to ensure that the phasing of the speakers are correct. Do not ground the "+" output of either set of out- puts. Doing so will cause the amplifier to go into protect mode, shutting down operation of the effected channel.

Note: The "+" and "-" indicators are mirrored on "A" and "B" outputs.

Be sure to make the correct connections.

Earth Ground Terminal

The earth ground terminal is provided as a convenient means to con- nect to the amplifier’s chassis/AC ground, if necessary. DO NOT con- nect the earth ground terminal to the "+" terminals of either output. No damage will occur if this is done, but the amplifier will go into protect mode and shut down the effected channel.

Inputs

Balanced Input Connections

Balanced input connections are used when the source device provides a balanced output (signal "+", signal "-", and ground "G").This type of connec- tion is desirable when operating in electrically noisy environments, where long input cable runs are needed, or to ensure the lowest noise operation. If compatible with the source device, this type of con- nection is recommended.

Unbalanced Input Connections

When the source device provides only an unbal- anced output (signal and ground), the input should be wired with "-" input shorted to ground (G). The unbalanced signal's shield wire is connected to ground and the signal hot wire is connected to the "+" terminal. Since unbalanced connections do not provide the same amount of noise immunity that a balanced connection does, the connection distances should be made as short as possible.
