6 – VRM124. CONNECTIONSWARNING: To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not connect the loudspeakerwith the amplifier switched on.The loudspeaker has two identical Speakon connectors, which are wired as follows:Inputs:• Pin 1+ is the positive (+) input,and connects to the positive (+)output of your power amplifier.• Pin 1– is the negative (–) input,and connects to the negative(–) output of your poweramplifier.• Pin 1+ and 1– of one Speakon are connected internally to the VRM12 crossover’sinput. They are also connected internally to Pin 1+ and 1– of the other Speakon,which can be used to send speaker-level power to another VRM12.Through Outputs:• Pin 2+ is the positive (+) through output.• Pin 2– is the negative (–) through output.• Pin 2+ and 2– are not connected internally to the VRM12 crossover’s input. They areonly connected internally to Pin 2+ and 2– of the other Speakon.Connection Examples:• Using the second Speakon (Pin 1+,1-) to connect a second VRM12 in parallel.Make sure that the total average impedance of your loudspeakers does not dropbelow the recommended minimum load impedance of your power amplifier.For example, when two VRM12s are wired as shown above, the total averageimpedance is 4 ohm. For three VRM12s, the total average is 2.67 ohm. Make sureyour amplifier can handle this load impedance, or it may become overloaded.xoverVRM12 enclosurePinSpeakon SpeakonPin1+1-2+2-1+++ +1-2+2-xoverVRM12 enclosurePinSpeakon SpeakonPin1+1-2+2-1+++ +1-2+2-A+AmpxoverVRM12 enclosurePinSpeakon SpeakonPin1+1-2+2-1+++ +1-2+2-2-conductor cable
