SPEAKER CABLES

The PH50 is our standard cable when purchasing a complete sound system.
These cables feature 1/4" plugs and heavy 16 gauge copper wire. The PH50 is
adequate for lengths up to 50' under normal use. You can DAISY-CHAIN up to one
additional speaker per cable by using the unused 1/4" OUTPUT" jack (right side)
on your speaker jack plate. Be sure to note the total impedance to the amp so it is
not lower than it's recommended impedance. See Typical Loudspeaker Impedance
Configurations.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE

To help control feedback, use a graphic equalizer. Keep the speakers in front of
the microphone. Never direct the microphone towards the speaker. For greater
coverage, add additional monitors.
