Samson Bass Enclosure VX410a - Manual (Page 3)

About Impedance
Before you hook up your speaker cabinet be sure that you understand a little about
impedance. Impedance is the electronic load that the speaker puts on the power amplifier
and is measured in Ohms.
Here is the tricky, yet simple rule of impedance; When two speakers are wired in "Parallel"
the total impedance is cut in half and
when two speakers are wire is “Series”
the total impedance is the sum of the
speakers individual impedance.
The VX410 and VX410a’s impedance
(many audio guys used the made up
word “ohmage”, however the correct
term is impedance) is 8 Ohms. So,
when two VX410’sor VX410a’s are con-
nected together in parallel the total
impedance is 4 Ohms. The impedance
of your speaker also has an effect on
you amplifier. In general, the lower the
impedance the more power your ampli-
fier will put out.
IMPORTANT : There is an minimum safe
impedance so be sure to check the
manufacturer’s recommended imped-
ance for your amplifier to avoid any
damage to your amplifier or voiding
your warranty.
Connecting the VX410 to Your Amplifier
The VX410 and VX410a connections
are made via 1/4” phone jacks located
on the rear panel jack-plate. Be sure to
make your connection with un-shielded
speaker cable. Connect the Amplifier
Output to the speaker Input on the
VX410’s rear jackplate.
Using the EXTENSION Output
The VX410and VX410a provides a
convenient Extension Output for con-
necting additional speaker cabinets in
parallel. Be sure to read the section
above on impedance to insure a proper
hook up with your amplifier. Follow the
steps below to connect two VX410’s
using the Extension Output. Connect
the Amplifier Output to the Input of the
first VX410. Now, connect the
Extension Output to the Input of the
second VX410 or VX410a.
