CONSTANT VOLTAGE (70V) VS 8ΩSPEAKER SYSTEMS

This unit is designed to operate in either a constant voltage or 8Ωspeaker system, so it is important to

identify which type of system you have and set the switch at the back of the speaker to the correct one.

Select the 8Ωsetting for traditional stereo systems. For constant voltage systems, select the 70V setting

that delivers the desired output volume for the rest of your installed speakers, making sure the wattage

does not exceed your amplifier capability as explained below.

A constant voltage speaker system differs from a traditional 8Ωspeaker system in that it uses a step-up

transformer at the audio source to raise the voltage and lower the transmission line current. At the

speaker end, a step-down transformer converts the signal to a normal speaker-level voltage. This reduces

power loss on transmission, allowing the use of longer speaker wire runs using smaller gauge wires.

Additionally, a constant voltage speaker system allows for the use of multiple speakers on each channel

without the need for complicated impedance calculations and configurations. In a constant voltage

system, all speakers on a given channel are connected in parallel and the complicated impedance

calculations are replaced by simple wattage calculations.

If you want to connect 2 speakers per channel in a traditional 8Ωspeaker system, you must either link

them in series, resulting in an overall 16Ωimpedance, or in parallel, resulting in an overall 4Ωimpedance.

In the 1st case, the 16Ωimpedance effectively halves the amplifier‘s output power, resulting in lower

overall volume. In the latter case, the 4Ωimpedance means that your amplifier must work harder and be

rated as stable at 4Ω. Adding a 3rd speaker to the mix would complicate it further, producing either a 24Ω

or 2.67Ωoverall impedance. Very few amplifiers are stable under 2Ωloads; this is usually not an option.

On the other hand, with a constant voltage system, you consider the RMS output wattage of the

amplifier first. This should be reduced by 20% to compensate for insertion loss. For example, if using a

100W amplifier, the total load from the speakers should not exceed 80W.

Each speaker on a given channel is set to a total value that does not exceed the rated power of <20%.

There is no need to worry about making the total as close as possible to the limit; ensure that the total

does not exceed the limit. If all speakers are set to the same wattage value, they will all have the same

volume level. If one speaker is set to a higher wattage value, it will be louder than the others, while a

speaker set to a smaller value will be quieter. This allows compensation for the environment in which the

speaker is placed: an outdoor speaker would need to be louder than a speaker placed in a small room.

INSTALLATION

This unit is IP65-rated, so it is protected against dust and low-pressure water contact. To get the longest

life out of this speaker, it is still important to mount it where it can be best protected from the long-term

effects of the outdoors. Choose places that are free of direct water runoff, such as under eaves and

overhangs for the best protection. Avoid mounting it where it faces the sun directly, as direct UV light on

the speaker driver’s face can cause premature wear.

NOTE: This unit is water-resistant, not water-proof. Do not mount it underwater. This speaker is also

heavy and should not be mounted directly to drywall, lath, and plaster walls unless there is a

stud/supporting material behind it, where the mounting screws can penetrate deep enough for proper

support.

SPEAKER WIRING

To wire your system, please use a good-quality, speaker-grade audio cable with polarization coding

(usually identified with a marking on the cable) as per the gauge recommendation found below. The side

of the cable that has the coding (a ridge, or "+" marking) usually denotes a positive polarity.

If installing the speakers outdoors, make sure to use an outdoor-rated speaker wire. Also, make sure to

use the proper gauge wire to match the distance you need to run the wire. For distances under 25 feet,

an 18-gauge speaker wire is acceptable. For distances of 25 feet to 50 feet, increase the wire size to 16

gauges. For distances greater than 50 feet, be sure to use at least a 14-gauge or greater speaker wire.

CONSTANT VOLTAGE (70V) SPEAKER SYSTEM

These wiring instructions assume the use of a 70V constant voltage amplifier. Before making each

speaker wire connection, strip about ¼" insulation from the end of each conductor, then twist the

strands to prevent stray strands from causing a short.

1. Power off, unplug all equipment to be connected, and identify the speaker number of your array.

2. Determine the amplifier’s RMS (not peak) output power, then multiply by 0.8. This is the Maximum

Wattage Value (MWV) for each speaker array. (If the amplifier’s RMS output power is 100W, the

MWV of each array is 80W. That is 100W x 0.8 = 80W)

3. Divide the MWV of each speaker array by the number of speakers to determine the Maximum

Wattage Setting (MWS) for each speaker. (If the MWV of each speaker array is 80W and each array

has 5 speakers, the MWS for each speaker is 16W. That is 80W ÷ 5 = 16W)

4. Turn the tap dial at the speaker’s back to a wattage value that is less than the calculated MWS for

each speaker in Step 3.

5. Link the wire running from the amplifier’s negative terminal to the speaker’s negative terminal.

6. Link the wire running from the amplifier’s positive terminal to the speaker’s positive terminal.

7. Connect the positive terminals on each additional speaker

to the 1st speaker’s positive terminal.

8. Connect the negative terminals on each additional speaker

to the 1st speaker’s negative terminal.

9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until all speakers are connected.

Most constant voltage speaker installations will consist of

multiple speakers per channel, with all speakers connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram above.

NOTE: Connecting a 70V amplifier to a speaker set to the 8-ohm setting will damage the speaker.

Always set the speaker voltage tap to the proper system type before connecting the speaker wires.

8ΩSPEAKER SYSTEM

For standard 8Ωstereo speaker installations with only 2 speakers, link as

described in the diagram. When connecting more than 2 speakers to a

standard 8Ωstereo amplifier, use an impedance-matching speaker selector to

avoid complex series/parallel wiring. Before making each speaker wire

connection, strip about ¼" insulation from each end of each conductor, then

twist the strands to prevent stray any from causing a short.

1. Power off and unplug all equipment to be connected.

2. Link the wire running from the amplifier’s negative terminal to the 1st speaker’s negative terminal.

3. Link the wire running from the amplifier’s positive terminal to the 1st speaker’s positive terminal.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with the second speaker.

LISTENING TEST

1. Set the volume on your amplifier to the minimum setting.

2. Plug in and turn your amplifier on, then start audio playback from your audio source.

3. Slowly increase the volume until it is at a comfortable listening level.

4. Check each speaker if the audio can be heard and if the relative volume levels are about the same.

Congratulations! Your speaker system is installed and ready for use.
