Speaker Wiring
To achieve maximum performance from the speaker, it is recommended to use good quality CL2 or CL3
rated speaker cable. For distances greater than 20 m, use a 2,5 mm² cable. For shorter distances,
a 1,5 mm² or 0,75 mm² cable is sufficient.
Make sure the cable meets any local or national regulations.
Use the following cables:
D9201 – SPK-275 stage speaker cable 2 x 0,75 mm² 100 m spool
D9201B – SPK-275 stage speaker cable 2 x 0,75 mm² 100 m spool, black
D9202 – SPK-215 stage speaker cable 2 x 1,5 mm² 100 m spool
D9202B – SPK-215 stage speaker cable 2 x 1,5 mm² 100 m spool, black
D9203 – SPC-225 stage speaker cable 2 x 2,5 mm² 100 m spool
D9203B – SPC-225 stage speaker cable 2 x 2,5 mm² 100 m spool, black
D9204 – SPK-225 stage speaker cable 2 x 2,5 mm² 100 m spool
D9204B – SPK-225 stage speaker cable 2 x 2,5 mm² 100 m spool, black
The table below provides an overview for maximum speaker cable lengths for a given conductor size.
0,75 mm² 1,5 mm² 2,5 mm²
30 Watt 800 m 1600 m 2666 m
60 Watt 400 m 800 m 1333 m
120 Watt 200 m 400 m 666 m
240 Watt 100 m 200 m 333 m
Depending on the desired output, you can choose which wires of the speaker to connect to the speaker
cable.
For 100 V speaker systems:
●
red = 10 W, white = 5 W, black = common
Note: Make sure the speaker connection polarity is correct. Always connect positive to positive and
negative to negative. In order to provide the best possible sound, all speakers in a system need to be
wired with the same polarity. If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed, this will result in
loss of the low frequencies and will affect the overall performance of the system.
