Crown XFMR-4 Quick Manual

XFMR-4
XFMR-8
®
T he Crown XFMR-4 and XFMR-8 are
rack-mountable transformers to provide
impedance matching between amplifier
outputs and "constant voltage" loudspeakers.
This unit allows amplifiers without direct 70V
or 100V output capability to drive distributed
speaker systems designed to operate at those
voltages.
For more details about the Crown XFMR-4 and
XFMR-8, contact Crown Customer Service at
800-342-6939 or 574-294-8200. Also, visit the

Installing the XFMR-4 and XFMR-8
CAUTION: Before you begin, make
sure your amplifier is disconnected
from the power source, with the
power switch in the "off" position
and all level controls turned completely down
(counterclockwise).
Use a standard 19-inch (48.3-cm) equipment
rack (EIA RS-310B) to install the XFMR-4 and
XFMR-8.
CONSTANT-VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER PANEL
Choose Output Wire and Connectors
Crown recommends using professionally
constructed, high quality, two- or four-
conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and
connectors. The XFMR box is fitted with
pluggable barrier block connectors that will
accept 14 AWG wire.
Wire Your System
Refer to the chart in Figure 1 to determine
the proper wiring of your constant-voltage
system.
CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for
output wiring.
