The Q-POWER6 and Q-POWER 10 amplifiers are optimised for a loudspeaker impedance of 4 Ω . Attaching lower impedances might affect audio quality and overall performance of the amplifier.

NOTE / IMPORTANT:

The Q-POWER 10 uses a bridged power amplifier output stage.This implies that the signal - loudspeaker outputs are not (and must never be) directly connected to the electrical ground (earth) or chassis of the amplifier!

Please make sure to always attach the loudspeakers only between the signal + and the signal - outputs of the same channel on the SPEAKON or Barrier Strip connectors.

Wiring to the output connectors must conform to NEC Class 2 safety standards or its equivalent that meets all national and local electric codes.

For reasons of safety and performance, only use high-quality fully insulated speaker cables of stranded copper wire. Use the largest wire size that is economically and physically practical and make sure that the cables are no longer than necessary.

WARNING !

The lightning flashes near the output connectors indicate high voltages that are potentially life threatening.

Wiring to these terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads or cords.Custom wiring should only be carried out by qualified personnel.

To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the conductor portion of the speaker wire exposed.

To connect any custom speaker cable wiring to the Barrier Strip connectors remove the security cover which is held by two screws. Take care to reinstall the security cover after all connections are made, and be cautious to avoid short-circuits between the speaker wires and the security cover or chassis (for example due to damaged or clamped cable isolations).

NOTE: Any damage to the loudspeaker or amplifier due to wrong cabling will not be covered by warranty.
