Wiring Diagrams
CAUTION: If your amplifier isn’t capable of handling the impedance of all connected speakers, this may result in overloading the amplifier and may cause possible damage to the amplifier. Check your amplifier’s documentation for proper impedance levels.
Parallel Connection
A parallel connection exists when speakers are connected directly to an amplifier (as shown in the illustration below). Each speaker’s positive terminal is connected to the amplifier’s positive terminal, and each negative terminal is directly connected to the amplifier’s negative terminal. This type of connection should be made when using a 70/100 Volt amplifier as shown in the diagram below.
NOTE: In this example, each speaker is set to 70/100 Volt operation and is being powered by a 70/100 Volt amplifier. Make sure to properly select 70/100 Volt or 8 Ohm operation before connecting the speakers to the amplifier.
