The satellite speakers included in this system individually
present a 32 ohm load to the amplifier . When 4 of them
are connected on each amplifier channel in parallel,
the load to the amplifier is approximately 8 ohms . The
nominal impedance of the subwoofer is 8 ohms per
channel . The satellites and subwoofer feature optimized
internal crossovers so that the subwoofers impedance is not
combined with the satellites . The overall load presented to
your amplifier by the combined system of 8 satellites and 1
subwoofer will be around 8 ohms nominal per channel .
With these considerations in mind, multiple system wiring
possibilities are possible . The following diagrams are
simple, and safe examples of wiring the system to a
traditional 8 ohm stereo amplifier . If using an alternative
wiring or amplification configuration, please take care to
ensure that the impedance presented to your amplifier is
within its published specifications . Failure to adhere to the
above guidance could result in damage to the speakers
and/or the amplifier which MartinLogan will not take
responsibility for and will not be covered under warranty .
