Speaker & Subwoofer Connections
SPEAKER AND SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS
Diagram 7
shows a typical application for connecting speakers to the M80 in a 7.1 Surround configuration. Connections for a 5.1
Surround configuration are as shown in
Diagram 7
without the Surround Back Speakers. Connections for a stereo configuration
are as shown without the Surround or Back Surround Speakers. The subwoofer connection is optional in a stereo configuration.
Note:
The M80 can safely drive 4Ω or 8Ω speakers. 8Ω speakers are recommended for cleanest sound, lowest temperature opera-
tion and to minimize power consumption. Do not connect more than one speaker directly to a set of Speaker Terminals (+/-) at
any time. This can cause the M80 to shut down and may damage the unit. This type of damage is not covered by the Warranty.
For information on Zone 2 speaker connections, see section: Multizone Configuration.
