  • Page 15: Output Wiring And Connectors

    To drive distributed speaker systems designed to operate at 70V or 100V, connect to the corresponding output terminals. JBL recommends using prebuilt or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire. Speakers wires should be twisted cable, if possible. To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, the wires should be stripped back no greater than 6 mm (1/4 inch), see Figure 2.5.
