Speaker connections

One or more speakers (4, 8 or 16 Ohm) speakers can be
connected to the amplifier with or without transformers.
However, before you connect any speakers to the amplifier,
the total speaker impedance must be calculated in order
to avoid damage to the amplifier. A total speaker impedance
greater than 16 Ohms or less than 4 Ohms can cause this
damage to occur.

To begin with, in order to ensure equal volume from each
speaker, all connected speakers should have the same
impedance.

A proper total impedance within the 4 to 16 Ohm range can
be acheived by combining series and parallel speaker
connections. Please see the diagrams which follow which
explain how to accomplish this.

Finally, always use the shortest length of speaker wire
possible of proper gauge. Usually, 18 gauge wire is adequate
for lengths under 25 feet, while 16 gauge is used for greater
lengths.

Connector options

The PT-610 offers several different connection points for
speaker hookups. These include screw terminals, a 6.3mm
jack, and a pair of banana plug connectors.

It is not proper or recommended to connect all the speaker
outputs simultaneously. In addition, please note that when
the 6.3mm jack is used, all the screw terminal and RCA
signal outputs are disconnected.

System 4: Four speakers in series/parallel combination

1. Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (-) to the amplifier COMMON
terminal.

2. Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (+) to the RIGHT SPEAKER (-).

3. Connect the RIGHT SPEAKER (+) to the amplifier’s 4 Ohm,
8 Ohm or 16 Ohm terminal, depending on the TOTAL
IMPEDANCE of the two speakers. If each speaker has an
impedance of 8 Ohms, the total speaker impedance in this
series configuration is 16 Ohms.

LEFT speaker RIGHT speaker

NOTE: ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS MAY BE INCLUDED IN SERIES, BUT IT IS NECESSARY
TO CALCULATE TOTAL IMPEDANCE, AND CONNECT THE SPEAKER CIRCUIT TO
A TERMINAL OF APPROPRIATE IMPEDANCE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THREE SPEAKERS
OF 4 OHMS ARE USED, TOTAL IMPEDANCE IS 12 OHMS – YOU SHOULD CONNECT
TO THE 16 OHM TERMINAL.

THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS
4 OHM SPEAKERS, TOTAL
IMPEDANCE IS 8 OHMS

System 3: Two (or more) speakers in parallel

1. Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (-) to the RIGHT SPEAKER (-).

2. Connect both the LEFT SPEAKER (-) and the RIGHT SPEAKER
(-) to the amplifier COMMON terminal.

3. Connect the LEFT SPEAKER (+) to the RIGHT SPEAKER (+).

4. Connect both the LEFT SPEAKER (-) to the RIGHT SPEAKER
(+) to the amplifier 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm terminal,
depending on the TOTAL IMPEDANCE of the two speakers. If
each speaker has an impedance of 8 Ohms, the total speaker
impedance in this parallel configuration is 4 Ohms.

1. Group the four speakers in two pairs.

2. Connect one pair of speakers in series (see system 2,
above). Note total impedance in chart below.

3. Connect one pair of speakers in parallel (see system 3,
above). Note total impedance in chart below.

4. Connect the speakers’ (-) terminals to the amplifier
COMMON terminal.

5. Connect the speakers’ (+) terminals to amplifier’s 4 Ohm,
8 Ohm or 16 Ohm terminal, depending on the TOTAL
IMPEDANCE of the four speakers. See the chart below for
some sample system suggestions:

Series/parallel variations

Although the description above is for combining a series pair and a parallel pair
in a parallel hookup, you may also elect to combine two series pairs in a parallel
hookup. Simply be sure you have properly calculated the total impedance, and
attach the (+) speaker circuit wire to the proper amp terminal. For example,if
you use two pairs of 8 Ohm speakers in series each pair, the impedance for each
pair is 16 Ohms. Connected in parallel to the amp terminals, the TOTAL impedance
is 8 Ohms, so you should connect these to the 8 Ohm terminal.
