Electrical Safety
DANGER:
The output voltage and current capabilities of audio power amplifiers present a danger to
installers especially in 70-volt and 100-volt distributed systems. To minimize the risk of electric shock
from loudspeaker connecting cables, confirm that the power amplifiers are turned “off” before connecting
loudspeaker cable to the loudspeaker or amplifier.
Electrical Connections and Cabling
The following table shows connections for iBOX loudspeakers. See the Installation section for more
information including the recommended crossover settings for biamp mode and recommended high pass filters
for each iBOX model. Note that the i2W8 is passive only and cannot be biamplified.
