Parallel system
If you require more speakers for better sound distribution and you only have
a limited number of output channels on your amplifier, you can connect more
than one speaker to each channel. This can be done by linking the speakers for
each channel in parallel as illustrated. However, always remember to check the
minimum loading impedance specified for the amplifier. The max number of CI
speakers that can be connected to each amplifier channel is calculated as follows:
the impedance of the speaker (8 ohms for the CI series) divided by the min.
specified impedance for the amplifier (often 4 ohms).
