Connecting microphones The MIC 1 and MIC 2 jacks permit you to connect two microphones with 6.35mm plug. Connecting a CD or tape player, or tuner In this Situation, set the PHONO and AUX/CD SELECTOR switch to the AUX/CD To begin with, in order to ensure equal volume from each speaker, all connected speakers should have the same impedance. A proper total impedance with the 4 to 16 Ohms range can be achieved by combining series and paralled speaker connections. Please see the diagrams which follow the same impedance. Finally, always use the shortest length of speaker wire possible of proper gauge. Usually, 18-gauge wire is adequate for lengths under 25 feet, while 16-gauge is used for greater lengths. System 1: Single speaker system 1.Connect the speaker (-) terminal to the amplifier COMMON terminal 2.Depending on the speaker being used, connect the speaker (+) terminal to the amplifier's 4-Ohm, 8Ohm or 16-Ohm amplifier terminal. Connecting a turntable In this Situation, set the PHONO and AUX/CD SELECTOR switch to the PHONO. System 2:Two (or more) speakers in series 1.Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (-) to the amplifier COMMON terminal. 2.Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (+) to the RIGHT SPEAKER (-). 3.Connect the RIGHT SPEAKER (+) to the amplifier's 4-Ohm, 8-Ohm, or 16-Ohm terminal, depending on the TOTAL IMPEDANCE of the two speakers. If each speaker has an impedance of 8 Ohms, the total speaker impedance in this series configuration is 16 Ohms. Speaker connections One or more speakers (4, 8, or 16-Ohm) speakers can be connected to the amplifier with or without transformers. However, before you connect any speaker to the amplifier, the total speaker impedance must be calculated in order to avoid damage to the amplifier. A total speaker impedance greater than 16 Ohms or less than 4 Ohms can be cause this damage to occur. 4
