The ACE–2012 and ACE–1515 Loudspeakers have two
1/4" phone jack inputs for standard TS (Tip/Sleeve)
plugs. The input jacks are wired as follows:
Polarity
1/4" Phone Jack
Positive (+)
Tip (T)
Negative (–)
Sleeve (S)
The two 1/4" phone jack inputs are wired in parallel.
This allows either connector to be used as an input and
the other as an output. Never use both as inputs!

TWO–WAY
CROSSOVER
Multiple ACE Loudspeakers can be daisy chained
(linked together), eliminating the need for several long
runs of cable to individual speakers.
To daisy chain multiple ACE Loudspeakers together:
Connect one jack on Speaker “1” to the amplifier and
the other jack to Speaker “2.” To connect another
speaker to the daisy chain, use the second “input”
jack on Speaker “2” as output to the next speaker, and
so on (see illustration).
Each additional loudspeaker in a daisy chain
configuration will reduce the total impedance load.
Never connect a total impedance load below the
minimum impedance load rating for your amplifier to
avoid damaging your equipment.

Prevent power loss and the degradation of sound quality
by using heavier (lower gauge number) speaker cables
when:
•
•
Long speaker cables are necessary
•
•
Two or more loudspeakers are linked together
With ONE loudspeaker, connections up to:
•25-feet require 18-gauge cable
•50-feet require 16-gauge cable
•100-feet require 14-gauge cable
With TWO loudspeakers, linked, connections up to:
•25-feet require 16-gauge cable
•50-feet require 14-gauge cable
•100-feet require 12-gauge cable
With THREE loudspeakers, linked, connections up to:
•25-feet require 14-gauge cable
•50-feet require 12-gauge cable
•100-feet require 10-gauge cable
With FOUR loudspeakers, linked, connections up to:
•25-feet require 12-gauge cable
•50-feet require 10-gauge cable
•100-feet require 8-gauge cable
