2. Remove protective metal cover and unplug the

removable input connector (see 

Figure 5).

3. Route the speaker wires through the strain relief 

fitting on the protective cover but don’t engage the

strain relief fitting. 

4.

(see 

Figure 6).

When connecting multiple

speakers you can connect

them either in 

Parallel or

in the 

Loop-Thru method

as shown below. Select 

the method that best suits your installation 

requirements:

Parallel Connection

In this configuration all speakers are connected via

pins 2 & 3, allowing all subsequent speakers to remain

connected to the amplifier if you to remove a loud-

speaker from the line by detaching its connector from

the loudspeaker (see 

Figure 7).

Loop-Through Connection

In this configuration subsequent speakers are connected

to pins 1 & 4 of the previous speaker. Unplugging a

speaker’s connector from the speaker will disconnect

all subsequent speakers from the amplifier (see 

Figure 8).

5. Strip  approximately 

3

/

16

” of insulation from the

speaker wires and insert the bare wires into the 

correct openings on the top of the removable input

connector (see 

Figure 6).

6. Using a small flat-

head screwdriver,

secure the wires 

to the removable

input connector 

by tightening the

hold-down screws 

(see 

Figure 9).

7. Plug the removable

input connector

back into the connector socket and lock it. Insert the

connector until it locks-into place (the connector

can only be inserted in one direction).

8. Reinstall the protective metal cover on the loud-

speaker and tighten it firmly to avoid vibration.

9. Secure the wire or conduit in the strain relief fitting

on the protective cover (see 

Figure 10): 

a) Loosen  the

v e r t i c a l

screws that

secure the

fitting to

the cover

and loosen

the horizon-

tal screws

holding the

f i t t i n g ’ s

pieces. 

b) Secure the fitting’s sliding pieces to the wire by

tightening the horizontal screws.

c) Secure the fitting to the protective cover by
