Bogen OCS1 specifications Speaker Wiring, Daisy-Chaining, Speaker Phasing, Terminal Covers

Speaker Wiring

All wiring should be done prior to installation and then plugged into the rear of the OCS1. Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input connector. There are two positive and two negative terminals to accommodate daisy- chaining of speakers in a system.

Daisy-Chaining

The OCS1’s snap-lock input connector allows for easy daisy-chaining of speakers by providing a second terminal of each polarity. See the figures to the right and below for correct wiring for daisy-chaining of terminals.

Speaker Phasing

Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct phasing. In order to provide the best possible sound, all of the speakers in a system need to be pushing out and pulling in at the same time.

If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that speaker’s movement will be out of sync with the other speakers.This will result 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 when necessary. It is important that all 4 terminal cover attaching screws be installed in this application.
