IMPORTANT

: There is a minimum safe impedance so be sure to check the manu-

facturer’s recommended impedance for your amplifier to avoid any damage to your 

amplifier or voiding your warranty. 

Connecting the AK410 and AK115 
to Your Amplifier

The 

AK410 and AK115

 connections 

are made via either the 1/4” phone 

jacks or Speakon connectors located 

on the rear panel jack-plate. Be sure 

to make your connection with un-

shielded speaker cable. Connect the 

Amplifier Output to the speaker Input 

on the AK410’s or AK115’s rear jack-

plate.

Using the EXTENSION Output

The 

AK410 and AK115

 provides a 

convenient Extension Output for 

connecting additional speaker cabi-

nets in parallel. Be sure to read the 

section above on impedance to 

insure a proper hook-up with your 

amplifier.  Follow the steps below to 

connect two 

AK410 or AK115

's using 

the Extension Output.  Connect the 

Amplifier Output to the Input of the 

first 

AK410 or AK115

. Now, connect 

the Extension Output to the Input of 

the second cabinet.
