select speaker wire for the COVO-S based on
the following minimum recommendations:
50' or less - 16 Gauge 2 Conductor
50' - 80' - 14 Gauge 2 Conductor
80'-120' - 12 Gauge 2 Conductor
120'-200' - 10 Gauge 2 Conductor
Amplifier Connection
Amplifier speaker output terminals are typically
color coded with black for negative (-) and red
for positive (+). Similarly, the COVO-S has
speaker wire terminals with a black and red
color coding. When connecting speaker wire,
ensure that the positive terminal on the amplifier
is connected to the positive terminal on the
COVO-S. And similarly, the negative terminal on
the amplifier should be connected to the
negative terminal on the COVO-S.
Speaker wires typically use at least one of
several possible methods to help maintain
correct polarity, including color coded insulation
or conductor strands, or printing of text and
symbols along one side of the wire insulation.
Amplifier Considerations
The COVO-S’s impedance varies between 6 to
8 Ohms through its frequency range. Care must
be taken to ensure that the amplifier is capable
of handling a 6-Ohm load. Some amplifiers have
a switch that must be set to use with speakers
less than 8Ohms. Improper amplifier selection or
setup may result in permanent damage to the
amplifier or speaker.
The COVO-S can be used with amplifiers
between 5 to 100 watts per channel as long as
reasonable care is exercised. If there is audible
distortion, turn down the volume until the
distortion goes away. Never allow the speaker
and amplifier to play for more than a few
seconds when there is audible distortion.
Removing the Grill
The COVO-S has a removable grill that is held
in place by four friction pegs. To remove the grill,
carefully pry the grill off from edge until the pegs
are fully disengaged. To avoid damaging the
speaker drivers, do not touch them either with or
without the grill in place.
The COVO-S can be used without the grills
installed as long as care is taken to prevent the
drivers from damage such as by hard/sharp
objects, liquids, pets, or hands. Store the grills in
a safe dry place when not in use.
