Minimize the Loss of Audio in
Long Speaker Runs
It is possible to install long speaker runs
with the CPA-7B, M15W and PA-2A.
To minimize the loss of audio power in long
speaker runs, a transformer is required at
both the amplifier end and at the speaker
end of a long wire run. A minimum of two
transformers are always required (Parts
Express 1-800-338-0531, part # 300-040).
