Using the VP series loudspeakers is easy and intuitive. Simply follow these steps 

to achieve the best possible sound:
1.  Plug the line-level outputs from a sound source such as a mixer or stereo 

system into a power amp of appropriate size (see 4.2 Power amp rating). 

Make sure the sound source and amplifier are turned off. 

2.  Using ¼" TS or professional locking-style speaker cables, plug the power 

amp output into the ¼" or locking-style input on the back of the speaker.  

DO NOT use instrument cables (i.e., guitar cords) for this connection!

3.  If using a pair of VP loudspeakers, run the amp in stereo operation. 

If using just one loudspeaker, mono operation is preferable. 

4.  If using four or more loudspeakers, there are a few ways to make the 

connections. The first is to use two power amps, one for each pair of 

loudspeakers. Another is to connect the first pair of loudspeakers in normal 

stereo operation, then use the output jacks on the back of the loudspeakers to 

link the second pair of loudspeakers. This way each channel on the power amp 

is driving two loudspeakers. Make sure that the wattage and ohm rating are 

appropriate for this situation.

Never connect multiple power amps to one loudspeaker. Doing so could cause 

the very fabric of reality to unravel, sending the entire universe into oblivion. 

Worse yet, it could destroy your amplifiers and your loudspeaker. 
5.  If using the VP1800S subwoofer, it is important to run the source signal into 

a crossover before the power amp(s). This will allow you to direct only the 

low frequencies to the subwoofer, and the rest of the sound spectrum to the 

full-range loudspeakers. 

6.  Turn the sound source on (mixer, stereo, etc.). 
7.  Make sure the volume/gain control on the power amp is turned all the 

way down, and then turn the power on.

8.  Activate the sound source, whether it is playing music from a CD player or 

speaking into a microphone, and adjust the levels. Gradually raise the power 

amp volume level to desirable level. If distortion occurs, turn the power 

amp volume down. Should the problem persist, make sure distortion is not 

occurring at the sound source. If you reach the desired volume level by barely 

turning up the power amp level/gain, turn the sound source output down to 

allow the power amp to push the speakers more. 

9.  Rock ‘n Roll!

The VP series features two locking professional loudspeaker

connectors 

that are wired in parallel. You can connect one of the connectors to the 

output on your power amp and tap into the signal from the amp on 

the second connector, in order, for example, to feed this signal into an 

additional loudspeaker. The pin designation of the loudspeaker connector 

is pins 1+ and 1-. Pins 2+ and 2- are not connected.
