For 25V and 70V CONSTANT VOLTAGE LINE CONNECTIONS
(refer to figure 4).

IMPORTANT NOTICE: When the 25V and 70V constant line voltages are used, a line

matching transformer must be used with each speaker. All

transformers must be connected in parallel.

SPEAKER IMPEDANCES:

Speaker impedance taps for 4, 8 and 16 Ohm speakers are provided on a terminal strip on the rear

panel of the unit. Also, outputs for 25V and 70V constant line voltage are provided. To connect the

power output directly to a speaker or PA horn or a combination of speakers and/or PA horns which

have a resulting voice coil impedance of 4,8 or 16 Ohm, connect to the COM and the proper

impedance tap on the terminal strip. Be sure the speaker(s) or PA horn(s) is capable of handling a

reasonable power output from the amplifier or permanent damage to the speaker(s) or PA horn(s) may

result. Also, be careful not to overload the amplifier with too many speakers or PA horns. If it is

desired to use a number and variety of speakers, the speakers must be arranged in various series or

parallel arrays to provide proper impedance matching or the 25V or 70V constant line voltage must be

used (parallel connection only). If you are not familiar with impedance matching, consult a professional

installer or technician for advice. If the 25V or 70V constant line voltages are used, a line matching

transformer must be used with each speaker. Again do not overload or use incompatible speakers.

Line transformers

are the preferred method for multi-speaker installation.
