CONNECTIONS

The C00 has 1/4˝ TS and Speakon™-

style INPUT and THRU connectors. The 

connectors are wired in parallel, 

so use only 

one of the input connectors

 (either 1/4˝ TS 

or Speakon-style).

C200 Connector Panel

Normally, you would use only one 

THRU connector, but it is possible to use 

both THRU connectors. Keep in mind that 

all the speakers are connected in parallel, 

so you want to be sure not to go below the 

minimum impedance requirements for your 

amplifier.

The C00 has a nominal 

impedance of 8 ohms.  

Two C00s in parallel 

equals 4 ohms.  

Three C00s in parallel 

equals .7 ohms.  

Four C00s in parallel 

equals  ohms.

Use high-quality speaker cable as recom-

mended by the manufacturer.

DO NOT

 use coaxial 

shielded cable like a gui-

tar cord to make speaker 

connections. They are not 

designed to handle the 

high currents required to 

drive a loudspeaker.

The 1/4˝ TS jack is wired as follows: 

Tip = Signal (“+” or hot) 

Sleeve = Ground (“–” or cold)

PLACEMENT

The C00 loudspeakers are designed to sit 

on the floor, a tabletop, or to fit on a standard 

tripod speaker stand. They can also be sus-

pended by the rigging points, which requires 

installing the optional accessory plates on 

the top and bottom of the cabinet.

You can lay the cabinet down on its side 

and use the C00 as a floor monitor. The 

asymmetrical trapezoidal shape of the cabinet 

provides a perfect angle for aiming up toward 

performers from the front of the stage.

Warning:

 Do not stack 

speakers in a column. 

This is to avoid the dan-

ger of toppling speakers.

As with any loudspeakers, protect them 

from moisture. If you are setting them up 

outdoors, make sure they are under cover if 

you expect rain.
