D12 INSTALLATION MANUAL
Connections
The D12 has many rear panel connections so it is important to label cables with their destination or source correctly.
Use high quality line level RCA connector type cables for source connections to ensure the lowest possible noise
and best sound performance.
For most applications, use 16AWG 2 conductor speaker cable. For wiring runs longer than 80 ft., it is recommended
to use 14AWG 2 conductor speaker cable. The D12's high quality, gold plated 5-way binding post will accommodate
speaker cabling sizes up to 12AWG. Attaching banana plugs will enable the connection of larger cable sizes.
A 3.5mm mono interconnect cable may be used for amplifier and systems triggering.
Line Level Audio Inputs
Connect line level input audio by inserting RCA cable into the audio input connectors.
