Stereo Output Wiring - Crown K-Series Reference Manual

K-Series Balanced Current Amplifier™
If you are running with both the Y-Input and Bridge Output
switches "ON", you may choose to make use of the un-
used input connectors as daisy-chain outputs—perhaps
to other amplifiers in your system. For instance, if you're
running in "Y" mono mode and you connect the input sig-
nal to the Channel 1 XLR connector, you can use the
Channel 2 XLR connector plus the two 1/4-inch phone
plugs for daisy-chained outs. This simplifies your wiring
needs, making good use of all the components in your
system.
Output Wiring Tips
1. To prevent possible short circuits, wrap or otherwise insu-
late exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.
2. Do not use connectors that might accidentally tie conduc-
tors together when making or breaking the connection
(for example, a standard, 1/4" stereo phone plug).
3. Never use connectors that could be plugged into AC power sockets. Accidental
AC input will be an electrifying experience for your equipment. But you will find out
real quick if your speakers are any good at 60 Hz!
4. Avoid using connectors with low current-carrying capacity, such as XLRs.
5. Do not use connectors that have any tendency to short.
6. Connect the outputs of the K-Series amp to your loud-
speakers. If the Bridge Output switch is turned OFF, con-
nect the positive (+) and negative (–) leads of each
loudspeaker to the appropriate Channel 1 and Channel 2
output connectors as shown in Figure 2.5.
