SPEAKER WIRE
The BAV2500 and BAV4250 are flexible multi-channel amplifiers capable
of many different applications. The application for a given system, or even
different amp configurations for different zones in a single system can
create different requirements for speaker wire runs. Please review the
information below and apply these guidelines to your specific application(s).
MULTI-ZONE AUDIO (4/8 OHM)
If the amp(s) are being used to distribute audio to different rooms with 4/8
ohm speakers, individual room volume controls may be needed (Please
visit www.getbeale.com for additional information). In this application,
pull speaker wire from each speaker to the volume control location in each
room, and then home-runs from each volume control to the amplifier
location. Use quality stranded speaker wire based upon the 4/8 ohm
