Basic operation

Using the VP series loudspeakers is easy and intuitive. Simply
follow these steps to achieve the best possible sound:
follow these steps to achieve the best possible sound:
Plug the line-level outputs from a sound source such as a
1.
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.
Using ¼" TS or professional locking-style speaker cables,
(see 4.2 Power amp rating). Make sure the sound source and
amplifier are turned off.

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!
If using a pair of VP loudspeakers, run the amp in stereo

preferable.

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.
Caution – Never connect multiple power amps to one loud-
speaker. 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.

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 sub-
woofer, and the rest of the sound spectrum to the full-range
loudspeakers.
Turn the sound source on (mixer, stereo, etc.).
