  4.5    Operation

M(i) series loudspeakers can be operated on standard linear amplifiers. For optimal perfor-
mance, we recommend using the system amplifiers and presets provided by TW AUDiO.

Make sure that the amplifier’s specifications meet the requirements. Using an amplifier that 
doesn’t meet the specifications can destroy the loudspeaker.

Please note the technical data in section 3.1 on page 8.

NOTE

Before connecting the loudspeaker to the amplifier, ensure that the right preset has been 
loaded.

Using the wrong preset or a preset not provided by TW AUDiO preset can destroy the speaker.

NOTE

  4.6    Connecting the cable

To create a cable connection with an amplifier rack from TW AUDiO, proceed as follows.

Ensure that the cable cross sectional area is sufficient (at least 1.5 mm²) to avoid power losses.  
TW AUDiO recommends using the loudspeaker cables available from TW AUDiO. 

When connecting the cables to the loudspeaker, ensure that polarity (+/-) and pin assignment 
(1/2) are correct. Incorrect connection can lead to a significant change in the loudspeaker’s 
sound characteristics and may damage the driver.

The pin connections of the M8i loudspeaker can be found in section 3.2 (“Connection dia-
gram”) on page 8.

The internal wiring of the M8i loudspeaker allows for parallel connection of multiple loudspea-
ker units.

Please note that parallel connections will decrease the total impedance of your loudspeaker 
configuration.

The total impedance and the resulting power of the speaker configuration must match the 
output power of the amplifier.
