Speakon Output Connectors; Binding Post Connectors - QSC PLX 1804 User Manual

Outputs
The PLX 1104 and PLX 1804 models are equipped with Speakon output
connectors for each channel. PLX 1802, PLX 2502, PLX 3102, and PLX 3602
models are equipped with Speakon and binding post output connectors.
Wiring connections are shown on the back of the chassis. Carefully note
the markings and maintain consistent loudspeaker polarity for optimum
system performance.

Speakon Output Connectors

If making Speakon cables, be sure to connect the loudspeaker wiring as
shown on the chassis. Channel 1's Speakon provides 4-wire (Ch 1 + Ch 2)
EN
connection; Channel 2's Speakon provides 2-wire (Ch 2 only) connection.
Appendix A provides Speakon connection reference.
Stereo and Parallel Mode: Connect each loudspeaker to its own chan-
nel of the amplifier, as shown on the chassis label. The INPUT CONFIGU-
RATION switch must be set for STEREO or PARALLEL mode.
Bridge Mode (PLX1802/2502/3102/3602 models only): Use Channel 1's
Speakon for Bridge mode output connection. Bridge mode configures the
channel pair to drive a single high-power loudspeaker load. The INPUT
CONFIGURATION switch must be set for BRIDGE mode. Use only Channel
1's input and Gain control. Set Channel 2's Gain control at minimum.
