Selecting Wattage Taps
The Sx600 is intended to be a high level speaker, so the transformer taps are set up to produce a full 600 watts at each of the 4 voltages listed. If necessary, the wattage may be halved by selecting the next HIGHER voltage tap. NEVER select a tap for a LOWER voltage! (i.e; Do not use a 70 volt tap in a 100 volt system, etc.) The Sx600PIX is shipped from the factory pre-wired for 600 watt operation on standard 70 volt lines. To select a higher voltage, remove the 10 mounting screws around the perimeter of the input panel (See Figure 6). CAUTION: the transformer alone weighs 18 lb. (8.2 kg.) Be prepared to support this weight when the screws come out! Carefully tip the panel outward from the enclosure, taking care not to damage the water gasket or strain any of the internal connecting wires. Locate the WHITE wire of the input cord and carefully pull its connector straight back off the 70 volt tab. Select the desired voltage and push the connector securely onto the corresponding tab. Do NOT move the black wire, which must stay connected to “COM”. Inspect the water gasket for dirt or damage, and reassemble the panel to the enclosure. Using a permanent marker, MARK THE NEW VOLTAGE SETTING in the box provided on the Sx600PIX label.
