The FAP62TEN includes a 4-pole detachable Phoenix style connector and, a wire gland for wiring convenience. To gain access to the 4-pole connector,
loosen the steel swing out door machine screw on the back of the enclosure. Attach the wire gland to the hanger cover plate. Feed service line through
gland before terminating to 4 pole connector (please note polarity). Plug the connector in to the speaker. Close the swing door and tighten machine screw.
8
Ω
Connections
The FAP62TEN loudspeakers include an 8
Ω
switch position.
CAUTION:
Do not set switch to 8
Ω
position when speakers are wired in 70.7V / 100V Systems..
Amplifier limitations will dictate how many FAP62TEN loudspeakers may be connected. Most consumer amplifiers are rated to operate at a 4
Ω
minimum output impedance per channel (check the back panel of the amplifier or the amplifier owners manual to verify). With this arrangement, two
FAP Series loudspeakers may be connected in parallel to each channel of the amplifier (two 8
Ω
loudspeakers per channel = a 4
Ω
load). (See Figure 1)
Be sure to use good quality, unshielded twisted pair speaker cable to connect the amplifier to the loudspeaker(s) (#14AWG for runs <80’, #12AWG for
runs >80’). Standard ZIP style speaker cable may also be used if twisted pair cable is not available.
DO NOT USE SHIELDED INSTRUMENT STYLE (Guitar) CABLES TO CONNECT SPEAKERS.
When making connections, be sure to maintain proper polarity between speakers. (Red wire to red or (+) terminal, black wire to black or (–) terminal
where applicable).
