5 Speaker wiring.
5.1 Low impedance speaker connection. 4 Ω
In order to connect conventional 4 Ω speaker systems, connect positive terminal of
the speaker (+) to 4Ω terminal. Connect the negative side (-) to COM terminal.
5.2 High impedance speaker connection. 70/100V
In order to parallel connect high impedance speaker systems (70/100V), connect the
positive side of the speaker (+) to 70/100V terminal. Connect the negative side (-) to
COM terminal.
