Speaker Synopsis
1000 Watts of RMS Power per Amplifier or 500 Watts per Channel.
The generic speaker wiring diagrams cover 6 to 18 speakers.
These speakers are expensive, providing a lot of sound in a localized area, which does not
always optimize the room sound. If you perform power calculations on these speakers, you
will note that we are recommending a higher rating than absolutely necessary. This is to
provide a safety factor and will also provide extended life for the speakers.
The best way to distribute the sound is by adding more speakers.
Using these diagrams as a guide, you will readily see how many different schemes can be
achieved. Keep in mind that you can also disconnect the internal jukebox speakers giving
you even more freedom with external speakers. The key things to keep in mind are: the load
on each channel must be less than 500 watts, and the maximum you can connect via the
Output Transformers (any connections not across E1 and E7 or T1 and T7) is 125 Watts per
channel.
Figures 3–7 through 3–9 cover the Rowe Floor Models.
Figures 3–10 through 3–11 cover the Rowe Wall-Mounted Model.
Figures 3–12 through 3–14 cover the Rock-Ola Models.
Connections to an optional second amplifier are done following the guidelines as for those
where the internal jukebox speakers are disconnected.
