Speaker Wiring
All wiring should be done prior to installation
and then plugged into the rear of the speaker.
Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input con-
nector. There are two positive and two nega-
tive terminals to accommodate daisy-chaining
of speakers in a system.
Daisy-Chaining
The snap-lock input connector allows for easy
daisy-chaining of speakers by providing a sec-
ond terminal of each polarity. See the figures
to the right and below for correct wiring for
daisy-chaining of terminals.
Speaker Polarity
Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct speaker polari-
ty. In order to provide the best possible sound, all speakers in a system need to be
pushing out and pulling in at the same time. Therefore all must be wired with the
same polarity.
If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that
speaker’s movement will be out of polarity with the other speakers.This results in a
loss of low frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the system.
Terminal Covers
•
The two terminal cover halves are attached to the back of the speaker using 4
screws. It is important that all 4 screws be used to mount the covers.
•
A slot between the two halves allows the wire to exit the speaker while
protecting the connections.The cover's eyelets can be used to anchor the wire
using a wire tie if desired.
•
If local codes require the use of a conduit for connections or strain relief of the
connections, a knockout can be removed and a proper fitting installed for the
particular situation.
•
Eyelets are provided on the terminal covers to provide a means of securing the
speaker to the structure. It is important that all 4 terminal cover screws be
installed in this application.A Bogen Model CK
1
0 cable will accomplish this.
