Speaker Wiring Guide
This section provides important information concerning connecting speakers to the DA415 amplifier.
Before continuing with speaker connections, it is strongly recommended that you read this section
thoroughly.
Note:
The following examples are applicable to the DA415 4-channel amplifier only.
Example 1: TouchTunes 2-Way Speakers
This example illustrates wiring of TouchTunes 2-way speakers (maximum 4 per channel) for a
total impedance load of 4 ohms.
TouchTunes 2-Way Speakers Wiring
CAUTION:
The DA415 amplifier has been specifically designed for use with 4-ohm
speakers. Using speakers of a lower impedance may cause severe damage to the
amplifier.
Furthermore, if 8-ohm speakers are to be used, they must be wired in parallel in
order to provide a 4-ohm load to the amplifier.
CAUTION:
Bose model 141
speakers will not function with either the 3-channel or
4-channel DA415 amplifier. Do not attempt connection of these speakers.
Similarly, wiring two pairs of
Bose model 301
speakers
in parallel
will result in
unsatisfactory performance and may cause damage to your equipment.
Row (series) impedance specifications
Row 1
2 speakers in series: 4.0 ohms + 4.0 ohms for a total
of 8 ohms per row.
Row 2
2 speakers in series: 4.0 ohms + 4.0 ohms for a total
of 8 ohms per row.
