LANDSCAPE CROWN AMPLIFIER INSTALLATION MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Origin Landscape speakers are designed so they can be part of a
70V system or an 8Ω system for smaller installs using a standard
receiver. As part of a 70V system, they will need to be paired with
a Crown CDi amplifier that has been designed to work with our
Landscape speakers. This manual will specifically cover setup
with a Crown CDi amplifier in 70V mode.

• For more detailed information about the Crown CDi amplifier,
refer to the Crown Operation Manual.

• For useful information about the relative merits of dierent
wiring plans you may want to refer to the speaker installation
manual (available on-line).

CROWN AMPLIFIER INs & OUTs

Input connections

Unbalanced (Most Common)

To connect your audio source to the Crown amplifier you will
usually need cables with RCA connectors on the source end and
bare wire on the Landscape amplifier end. The Crown amplifier
channels are labeled CH1 and CH2. Both channels are identical.
Attach the bare wires from your cable to the Phoenix style con­nector provided in the amplifier box. Note the location of the pos­itive and ground wires on the Phoenix connector. You must run a
jumper wire from the ground terminal to the negative terminal;
see Figure 1.

Balanced

When using the Origin Landscape series in a commercial instal­lation it might be necessary to connect the amplifier using bal­anced wiring. Connect the wires from your source equipment to
the Phoenix connector. Be sure to observe proper polarity when
connecting the wires to the Phoenix connector. If your source
equipment uses XLR connectors please confirm the polarity or
pin out of your source equipment before terminating the Phoenix
connector. see figure 2
