Step 4: Completing the Electrical Connections

Trim the SJO cord to a neat length while allowing enough slack for future

aiming adjustments or service. Make electrical connections per all

applicable codes in a weather-tight box and secure the SJO cord through

a weather-tight gland nut. Observe color code for proper polarity: Black

wire from speaker is audio (-), white wire is audio (+).

Constant Voltage Design Considerations

One of the major expenses of any large sound system up-grade is the

cost of running new wiring. For this reason, the Sx600PIX transformer

has taps for use on lines as high as 200volts, which is easily delivered by

an Electro-Voice CPS-4 amplifier in bridge mode. Keeping the current

draw the same, changing from 70volts to 200volts means you can now

pull approximately 3 times the wattage from the same wiring! In new

installations, the higher voltages mean less line loss on long runs, less

current and lighter gauge wire. Always check and comply with all

applicable codes.
