MAKING CONNECTIONS

Speaker Connections

The speakers are connected to the CAS44 using
modular snap connectors. Each of these color-
coded connectors is designated for the speaker
set of a particular amplified zone. To avoid con-
fusion, connect one zone speaker set at a time
starting with Zone 1, taking care to keep zone
and speaker wire identities straight. Note: An 8
Ohm minimum speaker is required for each
amplified output.
1. Pull the speaker wire conductors apart so
they're separated for the first two inches from
their ends.
2. Using a wire stripper, remove 1/4 inch of
insulation from each conductor. Twist the
strands in each conductor into tight spirals.
3. Remove the modular four-color connector for
Zone 1. The color code is as follows:
Modular Speaker Wire Connector
20
Lift the black lever for each connection until it
locks open and insert the proper speaker
wire, matching channel and polarity for all
four wires. Snap the lever down. Insert the
modular connector into its designated output
on the back of the CAS44.
4. Complete the same steps for the remaining
zones. Label each set of speaker wires with
the zone and location.
