OVERVIEW

1. NL-4 CONNECTOR
   Input for connecting to amplifier output with NL-4 cable.
2. SCREW TERMINALS
   Screw terminal input (from amplifier) and output (additional speaker looping) for connecting by using speaker wire.

NL-4 CONNECTION
This speaker allows for connection by NL-4 cable via the NL-4 input connector. Use a suitable NL-4 type cable of good quality to ensure function.

SCREW TERMINALS 

• For optimum performance, it’s important to use cables specifically designed for speaker use. Do not use shielded “guitar” signal cables for connection to these speakers.
• Selection of the appropriate wire gauge is important for system operation. A cable that is too light will result in amplifier power being wasted due to the series resistance of the cable. In addition, loss of low-frequency performance may be experienced due to a degraded damping factor.

Looping speakers

• Running too many speakers from a single amplifier channel may result in damage to the amplifier and/or in degraded audio performance.
• To calculate the combined impedance of multiple identical speakers in parallel, please use the formula below:
  Impedance of a single speaker/ Number of speakers connected in parallel = Amplifier impedance load
• Keep in mind that two 8 Ohm parallel-linked speakers will equal a 4-ohm load.
• Refer to your power amplifier’s owner’s manual, for information on the minimum recommended load impedance.
