Terminating Speaker Wire
There are two types of speaker wire that can be used for distributing the audio signal to each listening zone. Each stereo output consists of a
separate left and right positive and negative lead. To accommodate these, use two- or four-conductor wire. The two-conductor wire has a red
and black strand inside the outer jacket. Red is used for the positive signal and black for the negative. The four-conductor wire has red, black,
green, and white. In this case, the white is positive and the green is negative. Each BreatheAudio speaker output is aligned so the first two
terminals are left negative and positive and the second two are right negative and positive. These terminations are located on the back of the
Allport™ connection hub included with the system.
The insulation on each lead from the speaker wire needs to be stripped back about ½ inch exposing the brass wire. Each wire is then inserted into
the appropriately labeled connection on the Allport™ and is secured by turning the screw above each wire clockwise until it is snug against the
wire (fig. 4).
Each zone in the 2430 System is designed to handle a pair of 8-ohm speakers. Multiple pairs of speakers or speakers that present less than an 8-
ohm load to the amplifier will cause the amplifier to overheat and shut down. This could cause permanent damage to the amplifier's output stage.
