volt across a cable run is unacceptable.  We have equipped the PSC PowerMax 
Ultra with Neutrik Speakon connectors for use with your batteries.  These 
connectors are rated for use up to 30 amps.  Each PowerMax Ultra is supplied 
with a pair of cables terminated in ring lugs for use with your SLA batteries.  We 
recommend that you have all your cables professionally built or buy specially 
built cables made by PSC from any authorized PSC dealer. 
 
 

WARNING:

   

It is highly recommended that you have your cables built by 

qualified personnel and tested prior to use with your PowerMax Ultra.  All 
power cables should be clearly labeled on both ends as to what they are to 
be connected to.  For example, label one end “PowerMax Ultra” and the 
other end “Miranda Mixer”.  This will help prevent inadvertently connecting 
the cables to the wrong piece of equipment.  We cannot stress enough the 
importance of good quality power cables and careful connections.  Poorly 
constructed and/or labeled cables can result in equipment damage!
