PYLE Audio PPHP1259 manual Connections, Amplifier Requirements

There is an integrated 35mm speaker stand adapter on the bottom side of the cabinet. Use the knob to secure the speaker to the stand.

Connections

Your PPHP1259 speaker has a speakon jack as well as a ¼” jack. The jacks are wired in parallel, which allows you to daisy chain additional speakers. Thus you can use one amplifier channel to power multiple speakers.

Make certain that the wires you are using are at least 12 gauge unshielded speaker cable (the lower the number, the thicker the wire). Do not use shielded “instrument” cables.

Hooking speakers up in parallel decreases the overall impedance, placing a greater load on the amplifier. Check your amplifier’s specifications to ensure that you are not overloading the channel.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONE JACK AS AN AMPLIFIER INPUT. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE SPEAKER!

Amplifier Requirements

There are a couple of considerations to keep in mind when choosing an amplifier to drive your PPHP1259. While it is true that an amplifier with a higher power rating can damage the drivers, under-powering can be even more dangerous. When an amplifier is overdriven and starts distorting, it generates transient frequencies that are much louder than the program material. These wayward frequencies could damage your speaker. A proper match is an amplifier which could drive the speaker up to the cabinet’s RMS rating, without exceeding the amplifier’s own RMS level.
