Output Wiring Tips
1. Although this amp has Speakon connectors to minimize wiring mis-
takes, we encourgage you to choose carefully when selecting
speaker enclosue connectors.
2. To prevent possible short circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate ex-
posed loudspeaker cable connectors.
3. Do not use connectors that might accidentally tie conductors together when making
or breaking the connection (for example, a standard, 1 /
4
-inch stereo phone plug).
4. Never use connectors that could be plugged into AC power sockets. Accidental AC
input will be an electrifying experience for your equipment. But you will find out real
quick if your speakers are any good at 60 Hz.
5. Avoid using connectors with low current-carrying capacity, such as XLRs.
6. Do not use connectors that have any tendency to short.
7. To maintain good bass response, use the lowest DC resistance cable you can afford
and will terminate safely in your connectors.
2.6.6— Slide the chuck (D) along the cable and insert into the
housing, making sure that the large notch on the outer
edge of the chuck lines up with the large groove on the
inside of the connector housing. The chuck should slide
easily into the insert/housing combination until only ap-

-inch (9.5-mm) of the chuck end extends
