Audio Input Wire Run

When using a remote power supply and 24 AWG wire, the length of the audio wire should be
limited to 5000 feet with a maximum of four (4) ELK-800 amplifiers connected. Standard telephone
twisted pair wire is a good choice for the audio wire run.

Speaker Spacing & Connections

Sound Level Location Speaker Spacing

Quiet 50 to 65db, offices 120 feet (14,400 sq. feet)
Moderate 65 to 80db, light manufacturing 90 feet (8,100 sq. feet)
Noisy 80 to 90db, heavy manufacturing 60 feet (3,600 sq. feet)
Very Noisy Greater than 90db 40 feet (1,600 sq. feet)

Volume Control

Turn the volume control clockwise (CW) to increase volume. Adjust to a comfortable level.

Audio Input Gain Control

If the audio input signal is too low for proper amplification, switch Jumper to Preamp position for an
additional audio input gain of +18 dbm (8 X gain)
