2.5 Choose Output Wire and Connectors

Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two- or four-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You can use banana plugs or bare wire for your output connectors (Figure 2.4). Also, you can use a 4-pole Speakon® connector (Figure 2.5 and Table 1). To prevent the pos- sibility of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.

Note: Binding post outputs on European models come with safety plugs installed to prevent European power- cord plugs from being inserted. The top & bottom entry positions for these connectors should therefore be used with European models.

Using the guidelines below, select the appropriate size of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker.

Distance

Wire Size

 

 

up to 25 ft.

16 AWG

26-40 ft.

14 AWG

 

 

41-60 ft.

12 AWG

61-100 ft.

10 AWG

 

 

101-150 ft.

8 AWG

 

 

151-250 ft.

6 AWG

CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output wiring.

2.5Choisissez le câble et les connect- eurs de sortie

Crown recommande des conducteurs et câbles d'ence- inte de bon calibre préfabriqués ou câblés profession- nellement, de haute qualité à deux ou quatre conducteurs. Vous pouvez utiliser un connecteur Spea- kon® 4 pôles (Figure 2.4) ou des fiches bananes ou un câble nu pour vos connecteurs de sortie (Figure 2.5 et table 1). Pour prévenir le risque de court-circuit, emballez ou isolez les connecteurs de câble d'enceinte exposés.

Note: Les borniers de sortie des modèles européens sont livrés avec des fiches de sécurité pour empêcherl'insertion d'une fiche d'alimentation européenne. Les positions d'entrée latéral pour ces connecteurs doivent par conséquent être utilisées avec les modèles européens.

Al'aide des références ci-dessous, sélectionnez la taille de câble enfonction de la distance séparant l'amplifica- teur de l'enceinte.

ATTENTION: N'utilisez jamais de câble blindé pour le câblage de sortie.

2.5 Ausgangsverbindungen

Crown empfiehlt vorgefertigte oder professionell ver- drahtete hochwertige Lautsprecherkabel mit zwei oder vier Leitern. Sie können 2- oder 4-polige Speakon®- Verbinder, MDP-Stecker oder blankes Kabel zum Anschluß an die Ausgänge verwenden (Abb. 2.4). Bei den können Sie auch einen 4-poligen Speakon®- Verbinder benutzen (Abb. 2.5 und Tabelle 1). Isolieren Sie blankes Lautsprecherkabel zur Vermeidung von Kurzschlüssen.

Achtung: Um den versehentlichen Anschluß von IEC- Netzkabeln zu verhindern, sind die Schraubklem- menausgänge der europäischen Modelle mit Sicher- heitskappen ausgestattet. Daher sollten bei ihnen nur die oberen oder unteren Eingangsöffnungen dieser Anschlüsse verwendet werden.

Wählen Sie die korrekte Leiterstärke entsprechend der Distanz zwischen Endstufe und Lautsprecher:

bis 7,5m

1,5mm²

 

 

bis 12m

2mm²

bis 75m

13mm²

 

 

VORSICHT: Verwenden Sie nie abgeschirmte Kabel zum Lautsprecheranschluß.

2.5Seleccione el cableado y conectores de salida

Crown recomienda el uso de conectores y cables de alta calidad para altoparlantes, de dos conductores, de calibre grueso, ya sean prefabricados o construidos profesionalmente. Usted puede usar conectores tipo Banana, o cable desnudo para la conexión de salida (Figura 2.4). También, puede usar un conector Spea- kon® de 4 polos (Figura 2.5 y tabla 1). Para prevenir la posibil- idad de corto circuito, cubra ó de otra forma, aísle los conectores expuestos del cable para altoparlante.

Nota: Los postes de conexión de salida en modelos Europeos vienen con tapones de seguridad instalados para prevenir que sean insertados los conectores Europeos de suministro eléctrico

.Por lo tanto, deberán ser usadas las posiciones de entrada superior e inferior de estos conectores en los modelos Europeos.

Usando las referencias siguientes, seleccione el calibre apropi- ado del cable basado en la distancia del amplificador al altopar- lante.
