Speaker Wiring
Wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input con-
nector. There are two positive and two nega-
tive terminals to accommodate daisy chaining
of speakers in a system. All wiring should be
done prior to installation and then plugged
into the rear of the HFCS1.
DAISY CHAINING
The HFCS1’s snap-lock input connector
allows for easy daisy chaining of speakers by
providing a second terminal of each polarity.
See the figures to the right and below for cor-
rect wiring for daisy chaining of terminals.
SPEAKER PHASING
Keep the same polarity terminals wired together to ensure correct phasing. In order
to provide the best possible sound, all of the speakers in a system need to be push-
ing out and pulling in at the same time.
If the connections to one speaker in a system are reversed from the others, that
speaker’s movement will be out of sync with the other speakers.This will result in a
loss of low frequency response and will effect the overall performance of the sys-
tem.
TERMINAL COVERS
• The two terminal cover halves are attached to the back of the speaker using 4
screws. It is important that all 4 screws be used to mount the covers.
• A slot between the two halves allows the wire to exit the speaker while pro-
tecting the connections. The cover's eyelets can be used to anchor the wire
using a wire tie if desired.
• If local codes require the use of a conduit for connections or strain relief of the
connections, a knock out can be removed and a proper fitting installed for the
particular situation.
• Eyelets are provided on the terminal covers to provide a means of securing the
speaker to the structure when necessary. It is important that all 4 terminal cover
attaching screws be installed in this application.
