Speaker Connections
13 . Speaker Outputs
– This 4-pin
connector allows easy connection of
two speakers for stereo operation,
or one speaker for bridged mono
operation.
Stereo Speaker Connection:
Note the polarity markings for each
pair of outputs.
The speaker impedance
should be 4 Ohms minimum in
stereo operation.
Bridged Mono Speaker Connection:
Note the polarity markings of the inner
pair of connections. In this mode, the
input signals are combined in mono,
and the power from both channels
is combined to drive a single, more
powerful, speaker.
The speaker impedance
should be 8 Ohms minimum in
bridged mono operation.
To set the output to be in mono, use
The Director’s web server Operation
menu (the first page that shows up)
and click on the Mono box for this
zone.
Speaker Wiring
Establish a standard connection color
code and stick with it. One conductor of
the speaker wire is normally marked by
a different color (silver versus copper) or
there is a ribbing on one side. Typically this
marked conductor is used for the positive
(+) speaker leads. Some wires have pos-
itive and negative printed right onto the
wire jacket.
Match the polarity markings on the
unit with the polarity markings on your
speakers. If the wiring is incorrect then the
speakers will be out-of-phase, with a no-
ticeable decrease in the bass response and
less than goodly-sounding awesomeness.
See the next page for some handy
information about speaker and wiring
impedance.
