2.1 Wiring
Fig. 2.1: Connecting an amplifier
+
Always mute your amp before connecting the
speakers.
Please follow these steps to connect your CE1000P to a power
amp:
s Mute your amp before connecting the speakers.
s Loosen the plus screw (red ring with a “+”) and the minus
screw (black ring with a “–”).
s Insert the plus cord of the speaker cable connecting the
amp to your CE1000P into the plus opening.
s Connect the minus cable into the minus opening.
s Tighten the screws.
Connect the second loudspeaker the same way.
+
Make sure that all connections are done properly.
Speaker cables are color-coded to help avoid
confusion.
+
Always make sure that bare wire ends never touch
the open end of another speaker cable, speaker
connectors or metal parts of your amp.
2.2 Length and diameter of loudspeaker cables
Loudspeaker cables whose diameter is too small can limit the
power amp performance considerably. The longer the cable, the
greater the problem. As a result, users often simply “turn up” the
amp, which can lead to loudspeaker damage. For most
applications, this will not be necessary. Cable diameter should
be at least 2.5 - 4.0 mm (AWG 6).
2.3 Power amp rating and impedance
Selecting the right amp can turn out to be rather difficult.
Therefore, stick to the following rule of thumb: the power rating
of your amp should be roughly twice the speaker load capacity.
A speaker rated at 300 Watts continuous performance can easily
be powered by an amp rated at 600 Watts output power. An
optimal addition to your speaker system would be the BEHRINGER
EUROPOWER EP1500 power amp, for example.
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! By purchasing the CE1000P, you have obtained
a pair of first-class permanent-installation loudspeakers. The
CE1000P offers a compact solution for installations in restaurants,
businesses, trade shows and community centers. The speakers
sport a two-way design and are rated at 300 Watts, and can
easily adapt to any surroundings thanks to the removable and
paintable front element. A powerful 8" woofer and a high-
definition compression driver produce an ultra-linear frequency
response, while a specially developed waveguide horn assures
a consistent sound dispersion. The included accessories assure
optimal and safe installation.
