SETTING UP YOUR AMPLIFIER

Connecting the Transducer to the Amplifier

If you are able to locate the amplifier within 3 feet of the transducer (3 ft. is the approximate length of the speaker wire attached to the transducer), connect the transducer wires directly to the amplifier. This can be done by unscrewing the wire binding posts, inserting the wire through the hole in the post and then retightening the binding posts (see photo on this page). To insure you have a secure connection, make sure the insulation on the wire does not get pinched when tightening the cap on the binding post.

NOTE: The 5-Way binding posts can be connected to in several ways. You can insert banana plugs into the end of the posts, insert pin connectors or bare wire through the hole in the post (as shown in photo), wrap bare wire around the posts and tighten the post caps, or install lug terminals around the posts.

If you are unable to locate the amplifier within 3 feet of the transducer, you will need to splice the speaker wire coming out of the transducer with another comparable wire of the correct length. Once spliced, attach the ends of the added wire to the amplifier as discussed above.

NOTE: Our general wire size recommendations for additional wire are as follows: 0 to 25 feet, 16 AWG

25 to 50 feet, 14 AWG

50 to 75 feet, 12 AWG
