Speaker Wiring
All wiring should be done prior to installation
and then plugged into the rear of the speaker.
Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input con-
nector. There are two positive and two negative
terminals to accommodate daisy-chaining of
speakers in a system.
Daisy-Chaining
The 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.
Note: When speakers are daisy-chained, disconnecting one speaker from the chain
will disable all speakers further down the chain.
Speaker Polarity
Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct speaker polarity. In
order to provide the best possible sound, all speakers in a system need to be
pushing out and pulling in at the same time. Therefore all must be wired with the same
polarity.
If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that
speakerʼs movement will be out of polarity with the other speakers. This results in a
loss of low frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the system.
Terminal Cover
• The terminal cover is attached to the back of the speaker using 2 screws. It is
important that both screws be used to mount the covers.
• A half-round hole in the cover allows the wire to exit the speaker while
protecting the connections. A small hole is provided if a wire tie will be used for
strain relief.
• 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.
