Selecting Wattage Taps
The Sx600 is intended to be a high level speaker, so the transformer taps
are set up to produce a full 600 watts at each of the 4 voltages listed. If
necessary, the wattage may be halved by selecting the next HIGHER volt-
age tap. NEVER select a tap for a LOWER voltage! (i.e; Do not use a 70
volt tap in a 100 volt system, etc.) The Sx600PIX is shipped from the fac-
tory pre-wired for 600 watt operation on standard 70 volt lines. To select a
higher voltage, remove the 10 mounting screws around the perimeter of the
input panel (See Figure 6). CAUTION: the transformer alone weighs 18 lb.
(8.2 kg.) Be prepared to support this weight when the screws come out!
Carefully tip the panel outward from the enclosure, taking care not to dam-
age the water gasket or strain any of the internal connecting wires. Locate
the WHITE voltage tap selector wire and carefully pull its connector straight
back off the 70 volt tab. Select the desired voltage and push the connec-
tor securely onto the corresponding tab. Inspect the water gasket for dirt
or damage, and reassemble the panel to the enclosure. Using a permanent
marker, MARK THE NEW VOLTAGE SETTING in the box provided on the
Sx600PIX label.
