Connect Black wires to Ground terminal (-) of the 70/100V amplifier. Connect
White (full power) or Red Wires (half power) on (+) terminals of the 70/100V
amplifier according to the number of speakers used, and the amplifier power.
y
In case of parallel speaker connection, please make sure that there is not in-
verted polarity (+ connected to -). If the polarity of the speakers is reversed, the
sound will be unnatural and will play without bass.
6. UNDER-POWERING VS OVER-POWERING
Most speaker damages are caused by amplifiers with too little power (wattage).
Overdriven amplifiers clip output waveforms and send distortion to the speakers.
Clipping is usually audible; it may vary from a harsh sound to a fuzzy or unclear
sound.
If you hear this condition at loud volume levels, turn down the amplifier volume
until the distortion is no longer present. Damages caused by operating the speak-
ers at distorted volume levels are no covered by warranty.
6.1. Example of 70V/100V System Configuration
70V/100V
C
5 speakers connected in parallel using 6W Taps
NOTE: Total number of speakers multiplied by tap value cannot
exceed the output power (in watts) of the 70V/100V amplifier. The
above examples shows 5 total speakers in a 100V system. If you use
6W tap position, you need an amplifier with at least 5x6=30W. A
good rule of thumb is to use an amplifier with 20% greater power; in
this case, an amplifier with 36W or more.
