Wiring Guide

 

Wiring plans 

 Continued 

Choose the output connector and the appropriate cable for each source. 

For the amplifier output connectors, we recommend the use of pre-assembled or professionally assembled speaker 
cables of high quality and of sufficient gauge. You can use pluggable terminal blocks for your output connectors.  

To prevent the possibility of shorting, wrap or insulate exposed speaker connectors. 

Using the guidelines below, select the speaker wire gauge based on the distance between the amplifier and the 
speakers. Wire gauges apply to 4 ohm output. 

Distance  

 

Recommended Gauge  

Up to 25 ft. 

 

16 AWG 

26 ~ 40 ft. 

 

14 AWG 

41 ~ 60 ft.  

 

12 AWG 

61 ~ 100 ft.  

 

10 AWH  

101ft ~ 150 ft.    

8 AWG  

151 ~ 200 ft.    

6 AWG 

NOTE: Custom wiring should be performed by qualified personnel only. Class 2 wiring is required. 

CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for speaker output. 

Maintain correct polarity on output connectors. 

For each output channel, connect the output terminal block connector to the speakers. 

Use terminals marked COM and 4

Ω

 / 8

Ω

 for low impedance speakers, or use terminals marked 25V or 70V, and COM for 

high impedance speakers. 

Connect the COM terminal to the negative (-) terminal of the speaker; connect one of the other terminals to the positive 
(+) terminal of the speaker. 

Output impedance and voltage are as shown in Table 2.1

NOTE: The impedances listed in Table 2.1 represent the total impedance of all speakers connected.
