Figure 8: M12 Cable Clips
The M12 loudspeaker can be configured in multiples running from the same amplifier channel. When
connecting multiple M12’s to the same amplifier channel, connect the first M12 directly from the amplifier,
using 2-conductor, rubber-jacketed loudspeaker cable, with a Neutrik NL4 connector. Each M12 has two
(2) NL4 jacks. Connect the second M12 to the first by “daisy-chaining” it to the first M12. Since the M12 is
a nominal 8-ohm loudspeaker, connecting two (2) in this way creates a 4-ohm load across the amplifier, as
shown in the top part of Figure 9. If desired, a third M12 can be added the same way, as shown in the
lower part of Figure 9. For best results, use either 14 AWG or 12 AWG loudspeaker cable.

CAUTION:
Adding a third M12, as shown in Figure 9, will create a 2-ohm load on the
amplifier. Please refer to the owner’s manual of the amplifier before connecting a third
M12 to ensure that the amplifier will support 2-ohm operation.
