Connecting the Speakers CONNECTION EXAMPLE 1 The illustration below shows audio connections for a standard setup using two speaker systems. DAISY-CHAINED MIXING CONSOLE L GRAPHIC EQUALIZER L POWER AMPLIFIER L R R R SPEAKER SYSTEMS SPEAKER SYSTEMS Daisy-Chaining Speakers Since the speaker systems in this series are equipped with two input terminals that are internally connected in parallel, it is possible "daisy-chain" speakers by connecting the output from the power amplifier to one Neutrik connector, and a second speaker system to the other. We do not recommend connecting more than two 8 speakers in parallel. Two parallel-connected 8 speakers have a total impedance of 4 , which is the minimum that should be connected to one amplifier output channel. The S112IVN, S115IVN, SM10IVN, SM12IVN, SM15IVN and SW118IVN are 8 speakers, and two of these can safely be paralleled on one output. The S215IVN and SW215IVN, however, have an impedance of 4 and should not be parallel-connected with another S215IVN / SW215IVN or any other model. Neutrik NL4FC Plug Wiring If you will be using the Neutrik connectors for speaker input, wire the plugs as shown below. Be sure to use proper speaker cable-NOT shielded instrument or line cable-for all speaker connections. 2- (NO USE) 1+ : HOT(+) 2+ (NO USE) 1- :COLD (-) Neutrik NL4FC connector Caution: Use only unshielded speaker cable with stranded conductors to connect speakers to the speaker terminals on a power amplifier. The use of audio cable not rated as sufficient for the amplifier's maximum output level can create a potential fire hazard. - 4 -
