Bogen OCS1 - Manual (Page 5)

Speaker Wiring
All wiring should be done prior to installation
and then plugged into the rear of the OCS1.
Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input
connector. There are two positive and two
negative terminals to accommodate daisy-
chaining of speakers in a system.
Daisy-Chaining
The OCS1’s snap-lock input connector allows
for easy daisy-chaining of speakers by providing
a second terminal of each polarity. See the
figures to the right and below for correct
wiring for daisy-chaining of terminals.
Speaker Phasing
Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct phasing. In order
to provide the best possible sound, all of the speakers in a system need to be
pushing out and pulling in at the same time.
If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that
speaker’s movement will be out of sync with the other speakers. This will result in a
loss of low frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the system.
Terminal Covers
• The two terminal cover halves are attached to the back of the speaker using 4
screws. It is important that all 4 screws be used to mount the covers.
• A slot between the two halves allows the wire to exit the speaker while
protecting the connections. The cover's eyelets can be used to anchor the wire
using a wire tie if desired.
• If local codes require the use of a conduit for connections or strain relief of the
connections, a knockout can be removed and a proper fitting installed for the
particular situation.
• Eyelets are provided on the terminal covers to provide a means of securing the
speaker to the structure when necessary. It is important that all 4 terminal cover
attaching screws be installed in this application.
