70V/100V System

70/100-Volt systems are advantageous when the design calls for multiple speakers from the same

amplifier and/or long-distance wire runs. The Origin Acoustics 70V/100V loudspeakers feature

multiple taps o the transformer adjusted by a rotary switch at the front side of the speaker.. The

higher the wattage selected the more output will be generated by the speaker. Please note, 70V

is common in the U.S. while 100V is the common voltage internationally, especially in Europe. A

simple calculation is used to determine how many speakers can be driven on a single amplifier

channel. First, for safety purposes, it is recommended to make the calculations based on 80%

of the amplifiers rated power. For example, a 500-watt amplifier would safely deliver 400 watts

of usable power (500 x 0.8 = 400). Now it is simply a matter of dividing 400 by the tap setting of

the speakers. For example, if the speakers are set at a 15W tap, the amplifier would be capable of

driving 26 speakers per channel. At a 30W tap that would be 13 speakers. At a 60W tap that would

be 6 speakers and so on.

As you can see, if you need coverage over a wide area and it requires numerous speakers, a

70V/100V system presents a tremendous advantage. However, it should be noted that the higher

the wattage tap the higher the fidelity and the greater SPL that can be delivered from each

speaker. Therefore, it is best to determine the total number of speakers needed and set the taps

as high as possible within the amplifier’s power output rating. As mentioned, the rotary switch

used to adjust the tap setting is located at the front side of the speaker. It is best to leave the grilles

o until all of the tap settings have been properly adjusted.

The table below lists the power tap settings for each model. These same settings are reflected on

the rotary switch on the front side of speaker. Note that there is an 8Ω setting for both voltages

that bypasses the transformer entirely. Use caution to avoid this setting when connected to a

70V/100V amplifier as this can destroy the loudspeaker.

The tap setting determines how much wattage each speaker will draw from the amplifier. When

daisy-chaining multiple speakers, add the combined wattages of all tap settings to determine

the wattage draw on the amplifier. The combined total wattage should never exceed the wattage

rating of the amplifier.

WARNING: The 8

Ω position cannot be used with a 70/100V connection as it will damage or

destroy the transformer.

Should you be uncomfortable designing or installing a 70/100V system, or should you have any

questions please contact Origin Acoustics Technical Support.

Speaker Placement

Speaker placement is determined by several factors like desired SPL, coverage

requirements, variance in SPL by location, etc. When the object is to fill a large area with

very little variance (+/- 2dB), then a larger number of speakers is required. Typically, once

the number of speakers has been determined, placing them equidistant from the walls

and from each other will deliver the best result. However, due to other factors this may not

be possible. Also realize that the higher the ceiling the greater the conical dispersion and

therefore the larger coverage area per speaker. The further the speaker is from the listener,

the lower the SPL. As the speaker is placed closer to the wall, bass frequencies will be

enhanced. This may or may not be the desired eect but certainly needs to be considered.

Speaker Wire

Plan how you’ll route the wire to the desired speaker location. There are several methods

for routing the wire, and you may need to combine several of them.

Wire Routing

One option is to li up the carpet and route

“tape wire” under the carpet.

Under the Carpet

The wire can be routed behind the baseboard

by cutting a groove out of the back of the

baseboard, or by buying special baseboard

designed for concealing wires.

Behind the Baseboard

When available, you can route the wire

through an attic or crawlspace.

Attic or Basement

When running wires through a wall, be sure

to avoid all obstacles such as AC wiring,

pipes, and ducts.

Through Walls

If these speakers are being installed in a new home during construction, the installation

process will be a bit dierent (although much simpler). For these situations, it’s recommended

you purchase a bracket. Instructions on how to install the speakers are provided with the

bracket, or can be found on our website. Visit www.originacoustics.com for more information.

For New Construction

The gauge of wire used can have an impact on the performance of your speakers.

Generally, speaker wire is determined by the length of the run and wattage utilized. The

longer your run is, the smaller the wire gauge must be.

On commercial 70 volt systems, 18 gauge, 2 conductor, stranded and jacketed without

shield wire is commonly used.

In residential systems, for relatively short runs (less than 50 feet) to 8 ohm speakers, 16

gauge wire will be usually suitable.
