OUTPUT TERMINALS (12 and 13):

This terminal block is normally covered by a protective 

cover. Remove the two screws and the cover while making 

or undoing connections. Securely refit the cover when you 

have finished making the connections.

The five output terminals are labeled COM, 4 

Ω

, COM,  

70 V, and 100 V.

12. LOW IMPEDANCE

To connect a speaker directly, 

connect the COM terminal  

to the negative post of your 

speaker, and connect the 4 

Ω

 

terminal to the positive post. 

Make sure that your average 

speaker impedance is not 

less than 4 

Ω

, as this may 

overload the amplifier.

The speaker output connectors are screw terminals. Use 

16 or 18 gauge wire for connecting the amplifier outputs to 

the speakers. Strip the wire back about 3/8" inch, loosen 

the screw enough to loop the wire around the shaft of 

the screw (clockwise), and tighten down the screw with a 

screwdriver.

13. CONSTANT VOLTAGE

If you are using a constant-voltage distributed speaker 

system, connect either the 70 V, or 100 V output terminal to 

the "+" side of the speaker system, and connect the "COM" 

output terminal to the "–" side of the speaker system.

Each speaker must be equipped with a line transformer 

with an input voltage equal to that of the line (70 V or 

100 V).

Make sure that the sum of the power capacities of the 

speakers does not exceed 90% of the amplifier's rated 

output power (216 W).

CAUTION:

 To prevent the risk of electric shock, 

never touch the bare wires coming from the OUTPUT 

TERMINALS of the amplifier when it is switched on. 

When the connections have been made, insulate the 

70 V and 100 V terminals of the amplifier using the 

protective cover supplied.

      COM and 70 V are used to connect 70 V speakers. 

 

Use Class I wiring:

      COM and 100V are used to connect 100V speakers
