    8. System Wire Routing Considerations Plan how you will route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several methods for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them. Behind the Baseboard The wire can Through Walls When running wires be routed behind the baseboard by through a wall, be sure to avoid all...

    9. Subwoofer Placement Considerations When planning the subwoofer placement, remember that positioning it near the speakers is sonically advantageous; and being close to walls, especially corners, is very helpful when maximum loudness is important. The subwoofer offers multiple orientation and placement options for a tailored install.

    9a. Port Placement Considerations The port can be easily repositioned to either the long side or short side of the cabinet enclosure, to facilitate a wide range of installation contexts. IMPORTANT: If re-locating the port, do not remove or damage the pre-in- stalled gaskets that seal the port and port cover.

  • Page 16: 12A. Speaker Wire Polarity: Notes & Guidance

    12a. Speaker Wire Polarity: Notes & Guidance You will need a wire that has at least two conductors; one that can be identified as the positive and the other as the negative. All two conductor wires have some means of identifying which conductor is which, but at times this identification may be subtle.
  • Page 17: 12B. Speaker Wire Gauge: Notes & Guidance

    12b. Speaker Wire Gauge: Notes & Guidance The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers. Generally, speaker wire is determined by the length of the run and wattage utilized. The longer your run is, the smaller the wire gauge must be. On commercial 70 Volt systems, 18 gauge, 2 conductor, stranded and jacketed without shield wire is commonly used.
  • Page 18: 12C. Wire Gauge - 4 Ohm System Notes

    12c. Wire Gauge – 4 Ohm System Notes If using the PSUB10x2 in a 4 Ohm system, the total wire resistance must be less than 10% of the speaker impedance. For example, since the speakers are nominally 4 ohms impedance, the total calculated wire resistance should be no more than 0.4 ohms.
  • Page 19: 13A. 70V/100V System Notes & Guidance

    13a. 70V/100V System Notes & Guidance 70/100-Volt systems are advantageous when the design calls for multiple speakers from the same amplifier and/or long-distance wire runs. NOTE: 70V is common in the U.S. while 100V is the common voltage internationally, especially in Europe. 13b.
  • Page 20 First, for safety purposes, it is recommended to make the calculations based on 80% of the amplifiers rated power. • For example, 80% of an amplifiers rated power will mean that a 500W amplifier would safely deliver 400W of usable power (500W x 0.8 = 400W). Now, it is simply a matter of dividing 400 by the number of speakers and the tap setting being used in the system.

    14. Subwoofer Wiring Steps 1. Run the wiring from the amplifier (and any other speakers running in parallel) through the punch out in the terminal cover, and into the Subwoofer Input Terminals.

  • Page 22 2. To connect the amplifier wires to the Terminal Input Connectors on the Subwoofer: First, strip approximately 3/8” (10mm) of the insulation off each wire. 3/8” (10mm) 0.25 - 0.5” (6 - 12mm) Speaker Wire Then, locate the 5-way binding post and insert each wire into the opening with the correct polarity.
  • Page 23 3. When using multiple speakers, you can connect the speakers in the PARALLEL connection method. 4. Select the proper tap wattage setting for each speaker or subwoofer in the system and set each transformer tap selector. ( Refer to 70V Wiring Notes & Guidance Section) 5.

    15. Tap Settings: Notes & Guidance This Professional PSUB10x2 features 3 different tap settings off the transformer, adjusted by a rotary switch on the side face of the speaker. The higher the wattage selected, the more output will be generated by the speaker. The following table lists the power tap settings for the subwoofer: Model Position...

    16. Troubleshooting If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with another audio source to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them.
