- Speakon Compatible Connectors: Use these for secure and reliable connections with amplifiers equipped with Speakon outputs. You can use one for input and the other for daisy-chaining to another speaker if your amplifier supports it.
- Binding Post Terminals: These allow connection using bare wire, banana plugs, or spade connectors. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) when connecting.
Always ensure a secure connection to prevent signal loss or damage to your equipment.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
- Ensure all connections between the speakers and the amplifier are secure before powering on.
- Turn on your audio source (e.g., mixer, media player).
- Turn on your amplifier. Start with the amplifier's volume at its lowest setting.
- When powering off, first turn down the amplifier volume, then turn off the amplifier, and finally turn off your audio source.
5.2 Volume Control
Gradually increase the amplifier's volume to the desired listening level. Avoid pushing the amplifier or speakers into distortion, as this can cause damage.
