USE THE CORRECT WIRE OR CABLE
CONNECTIONS AND INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
All electrical
installation connections for
loudspeaker lines are
subject to all applicable
governmental building and fire
codes. The selection of appropriate
electrical hardware to interface with
the I SERIES loudspeaker lies solely
with the installation professional.
Community recommends that an
appropriately licensed engineer,
electrician, or other qualified
professional identify and select the
appropriate conduit, fittings, wire,
etc. for the installation.
Figure 1. Wire Connectors
All I SERIES loudspeakers are fitted with captive-clamp terminal blocks on the
input panel to connect to the amplifier. Terminating the wires with a spade or
ring connector (Figure 1.) is recommended for secure connections. The maximum
width of the ring or spade lug should be 0.375" (9.5mm), or less. The terminal
screws are #8 (M4). The maximum wire size that can be accommodated for bare
wire connections is 10 AWG (5.26 mm
2
).
Note:
Wire insulation colors may vary depending upon region or manufacturer. Be consistent with
conductor color use throughout the system.
Weather-resistant I SERIES models are ordered preconfigured for passive or
biamp/triamp operation and have a 12' (3.6m) 14 ga cable passing through a
sealed gland nut and input panel cover. Do not remove the gland nut or input
panel cover as this will defeat the weather-resistance of the connection. If you
must remove the input panel or gland nut, it must be reattached and resealed
with a silicone or other similar sealant to maintain the weather-resistance of the
loudspeaker.
CONNECTION: LOUDSPEAKER INPUT PANEL
The input panels on the two-way loudspeakers can be wired in passive or biamp
configurations. The three-way can be wired in biamp or triamp modes. The dual
subwoofers can be wired in single amp or dual amp modes. The input panels
on these models have a jumper that must be placed correctly in order for it to
function in the designated mode. See Figures 2a-2d for the jumper positions.
