THE Sl OUTPUT MODULE REAR VIEW LOW CURRENT STEREO MODE (18) (Option 1)

This Sl module is shipped wired as follows: lt as the channel signal output and 1 as the channel chassis ground. This is really the defacto standard for most low-to-medium power loudspeaker systems. This wiring allows one enclosure to be connected to channel A, and one enclosure to be connected to channel B. The 2 t and 2 - connections are simply not used in this application! In this case the 2 t and the 2 - spades are used to “store” the jumper cables for later usage.

systems use the full capability of the SPEAKON connector by paralleling 1 t and 2t, and paralleling 1 - and 2 -. This wiring improves the current handling capability of the system and reduces losses. Most “subs” with SPEAKONs are wired this way. This module can be easily re-wired to this configuration using the supplied jumpers on the rear of the module. Normally four jumpers are plugged in a no- connect configuration for “storing”. In this case, one jumper is connected between 1 t and 2t and another jumper is connected between 1 - and 2 - for each channel. This is a total of

four jumpers. The diagram (19) shows the wiring of the jumpers.

THE Sl OUTPUT MODULE REAR VIEW - BRIDGE MODE (20) (Option 3)

This module can be re-wired to allow the SPEAKONs to be the bridge outputs with both in parallel. This arrangement would allow for example, two 8 ohm enclosures to be connected in parallel to the CS 800s in bridge mode. In this case the wiring is as follows:lt on both connectors wired to channel A signal output; 1 - on both connectors wired to channel B signal output; 2t and 2 - on both
