In the parallel configuration, all of the speakers downstream of the one being tested continue to function even when it is disconnected. This is especially useful in installations where the system can never be completely down, such as in a hospital setting.

The source signal can be tested by connecting to the inner + (IN) and (IN) terminals of the captive screw connector.
