B6.Pull the speaker cable through the conduit

coupler and attach to the supplied Phoenix-type
connector 

(8)

. This is a 4-position connector,

with two "+" and two "–" terminals. Connect the
speaker cable to the "+" and "–" terminals labeled

IN

. If connecting another speaker in a distributed

system (in parallel), connect the speaker cable
running to the next speaker to the "+" and "–"
terminals labeled 

LOOP THRU

.

4. Set the Tap Selector Switch 

(12)

. Make sure all

the taps in the system add up to less than the
rated power of the amplifier driving them. As a
general rule, you should provide at least 10%
headroom to account for insertion losses (i.e.,
wiring resistance, etc.). For example, if you have
four speakers tapped at 30 watts each, the
amplifier should be rated at least 132 watts.

5. Set the Full-Range/High-Pass Selector Switch

(13)

. For normal operation, set the switch to the

FULL RANGE

 position. If a subwoofer is being

used in the system to reinforce the very-low
frequencies, use the 

HIGH PASS

 position to roll

off the frequencies below 150 Hz. This provides
the added benefit of making more power
available for the crucial mid and high frequencies.

If the speaker is being used in a low-impedance
system, use the 

FULL RANGE (16 OHM)

position. This bypasses the tapped transformer.

6. Install the grille 

(1)

 by pressing it into place until

the front of the grille is flush with the front baffle
rim. It is important that the grille be securely
seated to avoid having it vibrate loose.
