Connections
±016'±
For the best results when connecting speakers
(in series or parallel), only use speakers having the same impedance.
±016'±
If you connect speakers without transformers, the speaker wire should be no longer than 50 feet (See “Connecting Speakers with Transformers” on page 13).
Important: If you are connecting more than two speakers in series only or parallel only, be sure the total impedance does not exceed the amplifier’s maximum impedance (16 ohms) or fall below the minimum impedance (4 ohms). You can achieve a proper total impedance by combining series and parallel connections ±.

Use the shortest length of wire possible to connect the speakers. After placing the speakers in the desired location, determine the wire length and choose the appropriate gauge size.±

•To connect the speaker wire to the amplifier, press down the appropriate push terminal lever on the amplifier and insert the end of the wire into the terminal’s hole. Then, release the lever to secure the wire.
