Connections of the Loudspeaker Module
The passive loudspeakers of the Pronomic C-Series have 2-pole Speakon compatible parallel loudspeaker connectors. For optimum performance, it is important to use cables designed specifically for speakers. Do not use shielded "guitar" signal cables to connect these speakers.
The selection of the appropriate cable diameter is important for the operation of the article. If the cable is too thin, amplifier power may be wasted due to the resistance of the cable. In addition, there may be a loss of low frequency power due to a degraded damping factor.
The following table shows the appropriate minimum cable cross-section for various cable lengths and speaker impedance combinations.
When using this table, remember that two 8-ohm speakers connected in parallel are equivalent to a 4-ohm load.
| Kabel Länge In m | Querschnitt in mm² | Widerstand Ohm | Leistungsverlust | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Ohm | 4 Ohm | |||
| 10m | 0,75 | 0,420 | 5,25% | 10,5% |

Loop Through Loudspeakers
If too many speakers are driven by a single amplifier channel, the amplifier may be damaged and/or audio performance may be degraded. To calculate the combined impedance of several identical speakers (same ohm number) in parallel, please use the following formula:
Impedance of a single loudspeaker (Ω) / Number of speakers connected in parallel = amplifier load in Ω
It must be ensured that the specified minimum load of the amplifier (often 4 Ω) is not undercut.
Connections of the Loudspeaker Module
The two sockets on the back of the passive Pronomic C-Series are wired in parallel. This means that everything you connect to the input socket is simultaneously passed on to another speaker via the output socket.
