Output Connections

The amplifier outputs are wired to two 19-way CEEP (Socapex compatible) output sockets,

rated at 20 Amperes per contact. The Socapex output wiring has been arranged to preclude

accidental connection of the mid-high output to anything other than the TA-890H, and of the

low frequency output to anything other than the TA-890L, preventing any risk of drive-unit

damage.

Two 4 metre fanouts are supplied to take the 19-way cable outputs to the speakers. The low

frequency fanout is fitted with six Speakon NL4FC connectors and the Mid-high fanout is

fitted with four Speakon NL8FC connectors. The cables are colour coded to indicate which

amplifier channels they relate to. Mating connectors are screw-locked, ensuring reliability.

In addition to the Socapex outputs, there are also separate local output connections for

running speaker systems not requiring multicore loudspeaker extension cables, for example

ground stacked systems.
