Quick-Start Guide

The PATX60 is a 70V/100V transformer panel that

replaces the connector panel on the Vision Series

Strip the speaker wiring back about 1/2", loosen the

screw enough to loop the wire around the shaft of the

screw (clockwise), and tighten down the screw with a

slot-head screwdriver.

Note: Make sure the taps on the speakers add up to

no more than the rated power for the amplifier being

used.

Connecting the PATX60

to a Constant-Voltage

Distribution System

In a constant-voltage distribution system, all the

speakers are connected in parallel. This makes it

easy to add or remove speakers from the system

without having to recalculate the impedance of the

load on the amplifier.

Simply add the taps on the speakers connected to

the system and make sure the total power indicated

by the taps does not exceed the rated power of the

amplifier.
