CONNECTIONS

The C200 has 1/4˝ TS and Speakon™- style INPUT and THRU connectors. The connectors are wired in parallel, so use only one of the input connectors (either 1/4˝ TS or Speakon-style).

The 1/4˝ TS jack is wired as follows: Tip = Signal (“+” or hot)

Sleeve = Ground (“–” or cold)

C200 Connector Panel

Normally, you would use only one THRU connector, but it is possible to use both THRU connectors. Keep in mind that all the speakers are connected in parallel, so you want to be sure not to go below the minimum impedance requirements for your amplifier.

The C200 has a nominal

impedance of 8 ohms.

Two C200s in parallel

equals 4 ohms.

Three C200s in parallel

equals 2.7 ohms. Four C200s in parallel equals 2 ohms.

Use high-quality speaker cable as recommended by the manufacturer. DO NOT use coaxial shielded cable like a gui- tar cord to make speaker

connections. They are not designed to handle the high currents required to drive a loudspeaker.

PLACEMENT

The C200 loudspeakers are designed to sit on the floor, a tabletop, or to fit on a standard tripod speaker stand. They can also be suspended by the rigging points, which requires installing the optional accessory plates on the top and bottom of the cabinet.

You can lay the cabinet down on its side and use the C200 as a floor monitor. The asymmetrical trapezoidal shape of the cabinet provides a perfect angle for aiming up toward performers from the front of the stage.

Warning: Do not stack speakers in a column. This is to avoid the danger of toppling speakers.

As with any loudspeakers, protect them from moisture. If you are setting them up outdoors, make sure they are under cover if you expect rain.
