WARNING: the connection to any other voltage different from the one
specified can damage the amplifier immediately.
4.2 Connection of the loudspeakers
The loudspeaker system should be connected to the Speakon or binding posts
connectors ensuring that the polarity is correct. It is very important to use a cable
fitting to the power of the amplifier in order to maintain the high damping factor these
units provide.
As a general guideline, we offer a table showing the recommended cable section for
different cable length, in order to keep power and damping factor loss in acceptable
values.
