Loudspeaker Tap Setting
You can use a standard #2 or #3 Phillips or a
medium slot-blade screwdriver such (not the
one provided with the loudspeaker kit), or
just press with your thumb firmly, and twist
to adjust the power control dial on the front
face of the loudspeaker baffle. As shown in

volt connections, and on the right side the
power values for 70-volt connections. (The
actual power values on this dial will vary
with the model of loudspeaker installed.)
