5  Wiring and Setting Up

1. Open the wiring cover (if applicable) and locate 

the Euro-type connector plug and socket at the 

back of the speaker. (Fig.1)

2. For connection to an amplifier, use Pins 1 and 2

3. Close the wiring cover and tighten both screws 

on the cable clamp (if applicable). 

4. Use the rotary switch on the front of the 

unit to select low impedance (LoZ) mode 

or high impedance (70 V or 100 V) for 

distributed applications.

The speaker is supplied in low impedance

mode. Never connect the speaker to a 

70 / 100 Volt amplifier while it is set for 

low impedance.

CMS 503ICT models (all variants) use a 30 W 

transformer. In distributed line applications, the 

transformer can be tapped at 30 W, 15 W and 

7.5 W, with an additional 3.75 W tap for 70 V

line systems. 

CMS 603ICT models (all variants) use a 60 W 

transformer. In distributed Line applications, the 

transformer can be tapped at 60 W, 30 W and 

15 W with an additional 7.5 W tap for 70 V 

line systems.
