Avoiding Interference

Speaker wires can act as an "antenna" for electrical noise. Locating speaker wires too close to a light dimmer or switch may cause the speakers to emit a "buzzing" or "popping" sound. If you must locate the HDL-6 wiring near electrical devices, route the speaker wires several feet away from the electrical wiring.

Using the HDL-6 with Tube-Type Amplifiers

Virtually all tube amplifiers must have a load connected at all times. If you are connecting a tube amplifier to the HDL-6, be sure at least one pair of speakers is switched on at all times. An alternative is to permanently connect a 150-ohm, five-watt resis- tor across the tube amplifier's output in parallel with the HDL-6. See Figure 1 on next page for hookup diagram.
