4 Information for installing
At high power level it is necessary to consider the wiring between the amplifier and speaker cabinets.
In most cases the amplifier is placed on top of the speaker cabinet, therefore a very short speaker cable can
be used for connecting the two. This is very good, because the shorter and thicker the loudspeaker cable,
the better.
Do not use an instrument cable for connecting speaker cabinets!
Use high quality / Neutrik / SPEAKON-SPEAKON speaker cable with at least 2 x 1.5 mm
2
or more cross
section. They are reliable, robust and have less influence on the sound.
Use a speaker cable in good condition and connect the speaker cabinet to the amplifier before you switch on
the amplifier.
Try to minimize the number of power strips used to connect the amplifier to the mains.
Use high quality, shielded instrument cable for connecting your instrument to the amplifier.
At high volume level the speaker cabinet might vibrate, so make sure that the placing is stable and the
amplifier can not move anywhere.
