Connecting the 215XL

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 215XL impedance (many audio

guys used the made up word “ohmage”,

however the correct term is impedance)

is 4 Ohms. So, when two 215XL’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 215XL to Your Amplifier

The 215XL connections are made via

1/4” phone jacks 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 215XL’s rear

jackplate.

Using the EXTENSION Output

The 215XL provides a convenient

Extension Output for connecting addi-

tional speaker cabinets in parallel. Be

sure to read the section above on

impedance to insure a proper hook-up

with your amplifier.
