4.2 Cablaggio

• Impedenza: These speakers have a 4 Ohm impedance. Ensure your amplificatore è stabile a questa impedenza.
• Corrispondenza di potenza: Collega gli altoparlanti a un amplifier capable of delivering sufficient power (up to 500 Watts maximum output) without exceeding the speaker's rated power handling.
• Polarità: Observe correct polarity when connecting the speaker wires to your amplifier. The positive (+) terminal on the speaker (typically marked red) should connect to the positive output of the amplifier, and the negative (-) terminal (typically marked black) to the negative output. Incorrect polarity can lead to reduced bass response and poor sound quality.
• Qualità del cavo: Use high-quality, appropriately gauged speaker wire to minimize signal loss and ensure optimal power transfer.
