Connecting To Your Amplifier: Speaker Outputs

The speaker outputs are via Neutrik SpeakON
connectors can be used.
Additionally the Channel A SpeakON
allow easy bi-amping or bridged operation using a single NL4 connector. Similarly, Channel
TM
C's SpeakON connector also carries Channel D output.
Output Connector A
Pin 2+: Hot Ch. B
Pin 2-: Cold Ch. B
Output Connector C
Pin 2+: Hot Ch. D
Pin 2-: Cold Ch. D
For bi-amped operation, connect as above.
There must be no shared connections between channels.
Negative output terminals must not be joined together as they are not both at
ground potential. Connecting them together will damage the amplifier and void
the warranty!
As the currents involved are very high, and to ensure best performance, the speaker cables
should be kept as short as possible and conform to the following minimum requirements:
AQ-3, 14A into 4 Ohm speaker loads
Do not connect the inputs/outputs to any other voltage source such as a battery, mains
source or power supply, regardless of whether the amplifier is turned on or off.
Do not run the output of any amplifier channel back into another channel's input and do not
parallel or series-connect an amplifier output with any other amplifier output.
