Connecting To Your Amplifier: Speaker Outputs

The speaker outputs are via Neutrik Speakon connectors. 2 pole (NL2FC) connectors can be
used, but 4 pole (NL4FC) connectors should be used to connect to the bridge/stereo 4 pole
output socket.
There must be no shared connections between channels.
Negative output terminals must not be joined together as they are not both at ground
potential. Connecting them together will damage the amplifier and void the warranty!
As the currents involved are very high, and to ensure best performance, the speaker cables
should be kept as short as possible and conform to the following minimum requirements:
E45, 20A into 4 Ohm speaker loads
When operating the amplifier into loads of less than 4 Ohms, be aware that the current
capacity of the speaker cables will need to be increased above the values quoted here.
Do not connect the inputs/outputs to any other voltage source such as a battery, mains source
or power supply, regardless of whether the amplifier is turned on or off.
Do not run the output of any amplifier channel back into another channel's input and do not
parallel or series-connect an amplifier output with any other amplifier output.
For details of bridged operation please see overleaf — there are important differences in
connections and cable specifications!
