Crown recommends using pre-built or profes-
sionally wired, high-quality, two- or four-con-
ductor, heavy gauge speaker wires. They should
be terminated with Neutrik Speakon NL4FC con-
nectors (Figure 3.6) at one end and appropriate
connectors to fit your speakers at the other end.

If your CE 2000TX amplifier came equipped with
the CEAS1 (barrier strip) or CEAS2 (5-way bind-
ing post) optional output connectors, you may
wire your output to these connectors instead.
Optional output connectors can also be ordered
as a Service Option for installation on existing
CD 2000TX amplifiers.
