    APPENDIX B: ASSEMBLING LOUDSPEAKER CABLES CAUTION: When wiring loudspeaker cables, it is extremely important that each pin be wired correctly. Make sure the 48 V DC from the external power supply is wired directly (and only) to the 48 V DC pins on the loudspeaker connector, and that the polarity is observed (negative to negative, positive to positive) to avoid damage to the loud- speaker.
  • Page 26 APPENDIX B: ASSEMBLING LOUDSPEAKER CABLES 3. Secure the conductors by tightening the five screws in the Phoenix cable mount connector. Screws should be torqued to 5–6 Nm (4.4–5.3 in-lbs). Tighten screws CAUTION: Screws should not be inserted into the Phoenix connector while the connector rests in a mating plug. Doing so will damage the contacts.
