Operation Manual
2.4 Choose Output Wire and Connectors
Amplifier Output Connections: Slip the cable lugs under the
output screw terminals and tighten (Figure 2.6). Cover the output
connections with the supplied non-touch cover.
Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired,
high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and con-
nectors. You may use crimp-on spade lugs for your output con-
nectors. To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap or
otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors. Cover
the output connections with the supplied non-touch cover.
Using the guidelines below, select the appropriate size of wire
based on the distance from amplifier to speaker. The wire sizes
apply to the 4-ohm tap.
Distance Wire Size
up to 25 ft. 16 AWG
26-40 ft. 14 AWG
41-60 ft. 12 AWG
61-100 ft. 10 AWG
101-150 ft. 8 AWG
151-250 ft. 6 AWG
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by
qualified personnel. Class 2 wiring is required.
CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output power
wiring.
Use 2-conductor shielded cable and a 3-pin Phoenix-type con-
nector for Preamp Line Output (Figure 2.7), and for MOH 1V or
1W output (Figure 2.8).
Use 1-conductor shielded cable and RCA plugs for the MOH 1V
Line Output RCA Connector (Figure 2.9).

Music-On-Hold Connections
If you have an external FM or XM tuner connected to the
140MPA, you can play its music over a phone line while
the caller is on hold. Use one of the connectors below to
connect the 140MPA to the Music-On-Hold input on your
telephone system interface/PBX.
• MOH 1V Line Output Phoenix Connector: 3-pin
Phoenix connector, 600-ohm transformer-isolated output,
provides Music-On-Hold signal of approximately 1 volt.
See Figure 2.8.
• MOH 1W Line Output Connector: 3-pin Phoenix
connector provides Music-On-Hold signal of approxi-
mately 1 watt. See Figure 2.8.
• MOH 1V Line Output RCA Connectors: Two RCA
connectors (mono) for 1-volt Music-On-Hold output (in
parallel with 600-ohm connectors, so they are isolated).
See Figure 2.9.
