70v in-line distributed audio systems generally require less cable gauge than standard 4/6/8 Ohm 
systems. However some attention should be paid to the cable type vs speakers used to obtain the right 
output. Note the general recommendations below:

Please  carefully  select the  receiver  amplifier  input  side  or  “IN  Amplifier”  side  of  the  TIC  SP70vTA 
transformer and remove the screw cap. Insert your cable from the amplifier being careful not to lose 
or misplace the waterproof “O ring” or washer seal. Strip about half inch of insulation from the positive 
and negative/ common cables and screw connect accordingly. Re-tighten the screw/ seal over the 
cable to complete that connection. See picture below:
