About Constant Voltage (70V /1 OOV) Speaker
- Constant voltage (70V/100V) systems are ideal for large-scale, multiple speakers distributed audio installations where flexibility, ease of installation, and long cable runs are critical considerations. Following are the advantages of constant voltage (70V/1 00V) systems compared to low impedance (4-8 ohm) speakers:
- Longer Cable Runs: Constant voltage systems allow for much longer cable runs without significant loss of audio quality or power. This makes them ideal for large venues or distributed audio systems.
- Simplified Wiring: In constant voltage systems, multiple speakers can be easily connected in parallel, simplifying the wiring process. This is particularly useful for installations in commercial or public spaces.
- Easier Impedance Matching: With constant voltage systems, there’s no need to worry about matching the total impedance of the speaker load to the amplifier’s output impedance. This reduces the risk of damaging the amplifier or speakers.
- Flexible Speaker Placement: Constant voltage systems provide more flexibility in speaker placement and quantity. Additional speakers can be added without needing to reconfigure the entire system or significantly affect the load on the amplifier.
- Volume Control: Many 70V/1 00V speakers have built-in transformers with multiple taps, allowing for individual volume adjustment at each speaker. This is beneficial in environments where different areas require different volume levels.
- Cost-Effective for Large Installations: For large installations, constant voltage systems can be more cost-effective because they require fewer amplifiers and less heavy-duty cabling.
- Safety: The higher voltage of 70V/1 00V systems can be safer in certain environments because it allows for lower current to achieve the same power, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
- *70V constant voltage is commonly used in the U.S. region while 1 00V is commonly used in the European region.
Setup
70V-Speaker Configuration
Referencing the tap position switch label on the bottom of the speaker and adjust the correct setting for the system. The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power of your 70V amplifier. The example shown as Figure 1 using the 20W @70V taps, you will need an amplifier with at lest 140 watts for 7 speakers (7 x 20 = 140W). It’s recommend to use an amplifier with around 20% greater power, in this case, an amplifier that delivers about 180 watts are good for below setup.
Ohm-Speaker Configuration
Make sure to set the tap to 8 ohm as shown in Figure 2.
