HELIX M FOUR DSP - Installation (Continued); Connecting Loudspeaker Outputs; Remote Output for External Amplifiers

Various adjustment examples of the input sensi-
tivity can be found in the table below. For further
applications or if you are not sure regarding the
signal sources output voltage, please contact
your HELIX specialist dealer.
9. Connecting the loudspeaker outputs
The loudspeaker outputs can be connected
directly to the wires of the loudspeakers. Never
connect any of the loudspeaker cables with the
chassis ground as this will damage your ampli-
er and your speakers.
Ensure that the loudspeakers are correctly con-
nected (in phase), i.e. plus to plus and minus
to minus. Exchanging plus and minus causes
a total loss of bass reproduction. The plus pole
is indicated on most speakers. The impedance
of each channel must not be less than 2 Ohms
(4 Ohms in bridged mode), otherwise the ampli-
er protection will be activated.
10. Connecting the remote output
This output (Rem. Out) is used to supply remote
signals to the external amplier/s. Always use
this remote output signal to turn on the ampli-
ers in order to avoid on / o󰀨 switching noises.
