CONNECTING THE OUTPUT TERMINALS
CAUTION
Toavoidtheriskofelectricalshock,never touchthebareconductorsleadingtothe
outputterminalsoftheamplierwhenitisinoperation.Undergures,showthepos-
sibleconnectionsoftheeOUTPUTspeakerterminalsaccessiblebyremovingthe
protectivecover.Bearinmindthefollowingrules:
Constant Impedance Lines
•Thetotalimpedanceofthespeakersconnectedmust correspond to that selected
on amplifier’s output terminals.
•Thesumofthepowercapacitiesofthespeakersmustbenolowerthantheamplier’s
powercapacity.
•Thelengthoftheconnectingcablesmustbeaspossible;inanycase,thelongerthe
distancetobecoveredandthegreatermustbethecross-sectionofthecables.
Constant voltage lines
•Eachspeakermustbeequippedwithalinetransformerwithaninputvoltageequal
tothatoftheline(25,70,100V).
•Thesumofthepowercapacitiesofthespeakersmustnot exceed the output
power capacity of the amplifier (i.e. total wattage of speakers installed in zones
1 through 4).
