2.5 Choose Output Wire and Connectors
Technical Pro recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two- or four-
conductor, heavy gauge speaker wires. Figure 2.5.1 shows how a user would connect the L-
Series amplifier to a speaker using the Speakon™ connector.
Figure 2.5.2 shows another option users have when connecting the L-Series amplifier to a
speaker. Using banana plugs, spade plugs or simply bare wires, a user can connect two
speakers to the amplifier.
Using the guidelines below, select the appropriate size of speaker wires based on the
distance from amplifier to speaker.
Distance Wire Size
up to 25 ft. 16 gauge
26-40 ft. 14 gauge
41-60 ft. 12 gauge
61-100 ft. 10 gauge
101-150 ft. 8 gauge
151-250 ft. 6 gauge
CAUTION: Never use unshielded cable for output wiring.
