Speaker Wiring

All wiring should be done prior to installation and then plugged into the rear of the speaker. Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input con- nector. There are two positive and two nega- tive terminals to accommodate daisy-chaining of speakers in a system.

Daisy-Chaining

The snap-lock input connector allows for easy daisy-chaining of speakers by providing a sec- ond terminal of each polarity. See the figures to the right and below for correct wiring for daisy-chaining of terminals.

Speaker Polarity

Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct speaker polari- ty. In order to provide the best possible sound, all speakers in a system need to be pushing out and pulling in at the same time. Therefore all must be wired with the same polarity.

If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that speaker’s movement will be out of polarity with the other speakers.This results in a loss of low frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the system.

Terminal Covers

The two terminal cover halves are attached to the back of the speaker using 4 screws. It is important that all 4 screws be used to mount the covers.

A slot between the two halves allows the wire to exit the speaker while protecting the connections.The cover's eyelets can be used to anchor the wire using a wire tie if desired.

If local codes require the use of a conduit for connections or strain relief of the connections, a knockout can be removed and a proper fitting installed for the particular situation.

Eyelets are provided on the terminal covers to provide a means of securing the speaker to the structure. It is important that all 4 terminal cover screws be installed in this application. A Bogen Model CK10 cable will accomplish this.
