Speakon NL4MPR), phone plugs, cable and/or pre- assembled speaker cables are readily available at most Community dealers. Keep in mind that the contact surface of the tip of a phone plug is very small and if the jack or plug gets dirty or the plug is accidentally kicked or hit, the connection may become intermittent.

What amplifier should you use? There are several things you should keep in mind when selecting an amplifier. First, you need an amplifier with enough output power. Even if you are not planning to run your system very loud, an amplifier needs to have enough power so that the dynamics of speech and music will not cause “clipping.”...

Community loudspeaker systems have two specified input power ratings given - one is called “continuous” or “RMS;” the other “program.” These two ratings are given to help you understand the operating capabilities of the system. If you are going to play music which has very little dynamic range (such as synthesizers or heavy-metal guitar) through the system, the “RMS”...
The amplifier only sees the subwoofer/crossover load which is 4 ohms for CSX series subwoofers. Without the built-in crossover, the combined impedance of full-range and subwoofer speakers in parallel would be much lower.
“blow away” the people nearest to the speakers, but piling speakers on top of a small pedestal table is asking for trouble. Several models of the CSX speakers have a socket for use with tripod stands. While stands offer convenience, you must be careful they are positioned so that no one can trip over the stand or knock over the loudspeaker.

*** CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS *** 1. Don’t let the frenzy of setting up the system get in the way of common sense. If it takes just a bit longer to set up your system because you double-checked your connections, or the way you stacked, mounted, or suspended the speaker systems - so be it.
