MPS-482HP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS APPENDIX A: MPS-482HP CABLE ACCESSORIES PHOENIX LOUDSPEAKER CABLES The following Phoenix and EN3 cables are available from Meyer Sound and can be used to connect loudspeakers to MPS-482HP power supplies. NOTE: Phoenix loudspeaker cables and bulk cable use Belden 1502R (regular) or Belden 1502P (plenum) cable.
MPS-482HP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS APPENDIX B: ASSEMBLING LOUDSPEAKER CABLES CAUTION: When wiring loudspeaker cables, it is extremely important that each pin be wired correctly. Make sure that 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 loudspeaker.
ASSEMBLING PHOENIX-TO-EN3 LOUDSPEAKER CABLES When connecting loudspeakers equipped with EN-3 connectors to the MPS-482HP power supply, you need a Phoenix 5-pin female to EN3 5-pin female cable. The following procedure documents how to assemble this cable. If you are starting with an EN3-to-pigtail cable, you can skip steps 4–7 in this procedure.

MPS-482HP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: Screws should not be inserted into the Phoenix connector while the connector rests in a mating plug. Doing so will damage the contacts. During assembly, the Phoenix connector should only be held in place externally. 4. If the other (EN3) end of the cable has not been stripped, strip the outer shielding 1 inch and then strip the black, red, blue, and white wires 0.275 inch.
APPENDIX B: ASSEMBLING LOUDSPEAKER CABLES ASSEMBLING PHOENIX-TO-ECO-M LOUDSPEAKER CABLES When connecting loudspeakers and power supplies equipped with combination of Phoenix and ECO-M connectors, you need a Phoenix 5-pin female to ECO-M 7-pin female cable. The following procedure documents how to assemble this cable.
