Inputs
A good cable run improves the sound quality remarkably. Input cables should be short and direct, since high
frequencies will mostly be absorbed if the cables are unnecessarily long. Besides that a longer cable may
lead to humming and noise trouble. If long cable runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced cables.
Outputs
The high damping factor of your amplifier supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and thin
cables will influence the damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. In order to
safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie around 50. The longer a cable has to be, the
thicker it should be.
Connect your speaker-systems via the Speaker-plugs or the Banana/screw combination (occupation red +,
black -).
Choosing appropriate connection cables
The speaker-system must only be connected via a sufficiently dimensioned cable. Too thin cables lead to
cable heatup or enormous power loss and loss in sound-quality.
For all speaker-systems up to 400 Watts, we recommend a cable diameter of 2.5 mm², for all other speaker-
cables 4 mm².
A high damping factor of your amplifier supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and thin
cables will influence the damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. In order to
safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie around 50. The longer a cable has to be, the
thicker it should be.
In this respect, a damping factor of 200 will be reduced to 47 (8 Ohms) when using a 10 m long, 2.5 mm²
speaker cable. The power loss at 8 Ohms is 1.63 %, at 4 Ohms 3.25 % and at 2 Ohms even 6.5 %.
The maximum cable length is 30 meters!
Installing the speaker-cables
Connect the speaker-systems among each other using the inputs and outputs. Connect the cable of the first
speaker-system with the Speaker-socket Output CH-1 and Output CH-2 of the amplifier. The signal will be
transmitted to the individual speaker-systems.
Always treat the cables carefully and protect them from damages during transportation.
Install the cables always in a structured way and protect them from damage.
The cables must be installed in a way that no person can stumble over them. Always fix the cables with an
appropriate tape.
Both cables should be of the same kind.
Both cables should have the same length.
Both cables should be installed directly (no loops, S-shaped overlengths)
Always install the cables far away from power cables (never closely parallel)
