Diagram 6 M8 Normal Mode Speaker Connections - Multiroom

NORMAL MODE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The M8 amplier channels can be congured for normal power

output (35W/ch) (Diagrams 6/7) or high powered (Bridged

70W/ch) output (Diagrams 8/9). Normal power is appropriate

for most multiroom and multizone audio applications. Bridged

mode should be used for covering large areas or with high

powered speakers when additional power is required. When

using the M8 in normal power mode, follow the connection

instructions in this section. For Bridged mode, see section:

Bridged Mode Speaker Connections.

CAUTION! Regardless of conguration follow the connection

instructions for normal and bridged power carefully. Failure to

do so can cause severe damage to the M8 and speakers. The

Procient Warranty does not cover this type of damage.

For example of normal power speaker c

onnections, Channels 1

& 2 will be used. Diagrams 6/7

1. Use 16AWG (min) 2-conductor stranded speaker wire for

speaker connection. (Refer to the Speaker Wire Length

Chart for wire runs over 150’.)

2. Strip approximatel

y 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch o the ends and

twist the strands together so there are no loose ends that

can cause shorts.

3. Loosen the Channel 1 Speaker Terminals as shown in Dia-

gram 5 so there is enough room between the post and

the collar to feed the striped wire through without damag-

ing the strands.

4. Tighten the post to secure the wire.

5. Repeat for all Channel 1 & 2 + and - connections. Channel

1 is the left channel, Channel 2 is the right channel.

6. Conrm connection and polarity.

7. Connect the speaker wires to the appropr

iate left and

right + and - terminals on the volume control and speak-

ers (Diagram 6 - multiroom) or speakers (Diagram 7

- multizone) .

8. Conrm connection and polarity.

9. Set the

Channel 1/2 Bridged switch to the OFF position as

shown in Diagrams 6/7.

10. Repeat Steps 2-9 for all other rooms/zones that are con-

gured for normal mode.
