INSTALLATION — Speakers
Use good quality 12-14 AWG stranded copper speaker wire. Most jurisdictions require the use of CL2 rated in-wall speaker wire, refer to
your local building code enforcement office for the proper cable type for your installation. If speaker wires must be run parallel to AC
wires, keep the speaker wires and AC wires at least 10 inches apart. If you must cross AC wires, always cross at a 90 degree angle.
The distributed audio systems are capable of driving 4 ~ 8 ohm speaker loads in stereo mode, and 8 ohm loads in bridge mode. Never
connect more than two 8 ohm speakers wired in parallel to a single amplifier channel in stereo mode. Never connect more than one 8
ohm speaker to a single channel in bridge mode. Never connect the Left & Right channels of the amplifier together or combine the (–)
negative channels of the amplifier. Improper speaker installation can damage the amplifiers and void the warranty. If you are unsure how
to connect speakers to the unit, contact a qualified technician.
Remove the terminal block connector and make sure that all contacts are open by turning each set screw counter clockwise. This helps
insure that the speaker wire will not fray when inserted into the terminal.
INSTALLATION: Connecting 8 ohm speakers to the system in STEREO MODE
Set the amplifier mode switch to STEREO. Remove approximately 5 inches from the cable jacket, strip 1/4" of insulation from the
speaker wire, and twist the copper strands. Insert the speaker wires into the connector per the label below the output terminals and
tighten the set screws. Repeat for the remaining zones.
