Evido C10.1, Installation And Operation Manual

WIRING GUIDELINES
The input connector’s 4 terminals are numbered and
marked on the connector. Pins 1 and 2 are positive (+);
pins 3 and 4 are negative (–). (Pin 1 is connected to Pin
2 and Pin 3 is connected to Pin 4 inside the speaker.)
Pins 1 and 4 are used as daisy-chain connections to
other loudspeakers. Two possible layouts for wiring a
group of speakers are described below.
1. Wiring in parallel. Connect the wire pair of the
subsequent speaker to pins 2 and 3. When one input
connector is removed, subsequent speakers will
remain connected. See Figure 9.
2. Daisy-chaining. Connect the wire pair of the
subsequent speaker to pins 1 and 4. When one input
connector is removed, subsequent speakers will also
be disconnected. See Figure 10.
INSTALLATION NOTE: SUBWOOFER
POLARITy
When adding a subwoofer, be sure to observe the
correct polarity. The C10.1 subwoofer has been
designed for optimum performance when used with
the C4.2. In order to maximize the low frequency
output when used with the C8.2, C8.2LP or C8.2HC,
the polarity of the C10.1 subwoofer should be
reversed. See Figures 11 and 12.
When all wiring has been completed to the
connector, plug the connector into the socket in the
speaker’s terminal cup. See Figure 13. Tighten all
screws to eliminate vibration.
