About Impedance
Before you hook up your speaker cabinet, be sure that you understand a little about
impedance. Impedance is the electronic load that the speaker puts on the power amplifier
and is measured in Ohms.
Here is the tricky, yet simple rule of impedance: When two speakers are wired in "Parallel"
the total impedance is cut in half and
when two speakers are wire in “Series”
the total impedance is the sum of the
speakers individual impedance.
The VX810 impedance is 4 Ohms. So,
when two VX810’s are connected
together in parallel, the total impedance
is 2 Ohms. The impedance of your
speaker also has an effect on your
amplifier. In general, the lower the
impedance, the more power your ampli-
fier will put out.
IMPORTANT
: There is a minimum safe
impedance so be sure to check the
manufacturer’s recommended imped-
ance for your amplifier to avoid any
damage to your amplifier or voiding
your warranty.
Connecting the VX810 to Your Amplifier
The VX810 connections are made via
1/4” phone jack 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 VX810’s rear
jackplate.
