Wheelock TPA-100-B Installation Instructions Manual Download Page 5

 
A 4 ohm or 8 ohm speaker load may be connected to the COM and either the 4 ohm or 8 ohm terminals. 
 

NOTE: 

THE WATTAGE RATING OF THE 4 OHM OR 8 OHM SPEAKER LOAD SHOULD NOT BE 
EXCEEDED. 

 
To minimize power loss in the system cabling, use a wire gauge suitable for the power being distributed and the length of 
cable.  See Wheelock product bulletin # 89-91. 
 

NOTE: 

TO ALLOW FOR FUTURE EXPANSION, AND DISTRIBUTION CABLE LINE LOSS, IT IS 
RECOMMENDED THAT THE TOTAL SYSTEM WATTAGE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 85% OF THE 
AMPLIFIER'S RATED OUTPUT (I.E.  51 WATTS FOR THE TPA-60 AND 85 WATTS FOR THE TPA-
100). 
THE TOTAL SYSTEM WATTAGE REQUIREMENT IS THE SUMMATION OF THE WATTAGE TAP 
SELECTIONS OF ALL SYSTEM SPEAKERS AND HORNS.

LINE OUTPUT (FIGURE 6): 
The LINE OUTPUT jack on the back panel, can be used to cascade amplifiers (including amplified speakers, or  
Wheelock PRM 150 preamplifiers), or connect (send signal to) a tape recorder.  The signal on this output is a line level 
mix of the amplifier's input channels.  Use single conductor shielded cable with standard RCA type phone plugs.

NOTE: 

THE LINE OUTPUT SIGNAL IS CONSTANT AND IS UNAFFECTED BY THE AMPLIFIERS 
MASTER VOLUME, BASS AND TREBLE CONTROLS.
