Adcom GFA-5802 Owner's Manual

should be connected to the loudspeaker input terminal color coded BLACK (or labeled NEGATIVE, NEG, C, COMMON, G,
or GROUND).
The RIGHT OUTPUT should be connected to the right channel loudspeaker, as you face the pair of loudspeakers, and
the LEFT OUTPUT to the left channel loudspeaker.
Generally speaking, when making connections to the loudspeakers from the amplifier it is very important to use the
correct type and size of wire in order to avoid unnecessary loss of amplifier power in the cable, reduction of amplifier damping
factor and other undesirable conditions. It is suggested that with the GFA-5802 you should use at least 14AWG wire and
preferably 12AWG. Contact your local Adcom dealer for an appropriate selection of high end cables.
Virtually any stereo pair of loudspeakers can be connected to, and driven by the GFA-5802. The amplifier can drive
low impedances at more than adequate power levels with no difficulty. It should be noted here that many loudspeaker systems
which are nominally rated at 4 ohms drop in impedance, in some parts of their frequency range, sometimes to below 2 ohms.
You should not experience difficulties even with these very low impedance loads unless you demand excessively high volume
levels from the system.
The following diagrams show basic system wiring for two speaker options.
