  • Page 8: Connecting Your Loudspeakers To Your Amplifier

    Community Professional Loudspeakers MVP™ Series II Owner’s Manual Connecting Your Loudspeakers to Your Amplifier We strongly recommend the use of proper cable and good quality connectors for speaker wiring.

If your speaker cables will be less than 25' long, 16-gauge (1.5 mm ) stranded twisted-pair cable will be...
  • Page 9: What Amplifier Should You Use

    In considering what size amplifier to use, rather than focusing on the speaker’s power handling, it is more important to determine what is the OPTIMUM power for the speaker. For Community loudspeakers the best answer lies in the PROGRAM power rating. This Program power rating should determine the size amplifier you should use.

  • Page 13: About Dyna-Tech™ Driver Protection

    How Community’s Dyna-Tech™ Circuitry Works Community’s Dyna-Tech™ circuitry not only provides protection for all drivers in a loudspeaker but offers multiple levels of protection. Dyna-Tech™ does not use light bulbs. Instead we use High Positive Current Coefficient Resistors (HPCCR’s) specifically designed for Community with the precise parameters needed for this application: predictable impedance and a very smooth relationship between current and impedance.
