Channel D - Channel C - Channel B - Channel A
SPEAKON connectors
Barrier Strip connectors
The, Q-POWER 6 and Q-POWER 10 amplifiers are optimised for a loudspeaker
impedance of 4 Ω . Especially the Q-POWER 4 can handle impedaces down to
2 Ω. Attaching lower impedances might affect audio quality and overall perfor-
mance of the amplifier.
NOTE / IMPORTANT:
The Q-POWER 10 uses a bridged power amplifier output stage. This implies
that the signal - loudspeaker outputs are not (and must never be) directly
connected to the electrical ground (earth) or chassis of the amplifier!
Please make sure to always attach the loudspeakers only between the
signal + and the signal - outputs of the same channel on the SPEAKON or
Barrier Strip connectors.
Wiring to the output connectors must conform to NEC Class 2 safety stan-
dards or its equivalent that meets all national and local electric codes.
For reasons of safety and performance, only use high-quality fully insulated
speaker cables of stranded copper wire. Use the largest wire size that is eco-
nomically and physically practical and make sure that the cables are no longer
than necessary.
WARNING !
The lightning flashes near the output connectors indicate high voltages
that are potentially life threatening.
Wiring to these terminals requires installation by an instructed person or
the use of ready-made leads or cords. Custom wiring should only be carried
out by qualified personnel.
To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the con-
ductor portion of the speaker wire exposed.
To connect any custom speaker cable wiring to the Barrier Strip connectors
remove the security cover which is held by two screws. Take care to reinstall
the security cover after all connections are made, and be cautious to avoid
short-circuits between the speaker wires and the security cover or chassis (for
example due to damaged or clamped cable isolations).
NOTE: Any damage to the loudspeaker or amplifier due to wrong cabling will
not be covered by warranty.
