HOOKING
SPEAKERS
UP
TO
AN
AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER
(coNTINuEo>
IF
YOU
WISH
TO
USE
TWO
PAIRS
OF
KLIPSCH
CP
SERIES SPEAKERS
ON
ONE AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER
WE
RECOMMEND ONE
OF
TWO
METHODS:
Amp/Receiver
Rear
METHOD1
Amp/Receiver
Front
Method 1 (Preferred):
IF
your amp/receiver has both A
and B speaker terminals, connect one pair
to
A and one
to
B.
Depending on your amp/receiver's capability you
can then
either
play Speaker pairs A and B
together
or
separately
or
Speaker pair A
OR
Speaker pair B only.
Method 2:
IF
YOUR
AMP/RECEIVER
IS
RATED
TO
4
OHMS
OR
LESS
make a
parallel wire connection
as
shown
from the amp/receiver's
right
and
left
speaker terminals.
Your amp/receiver may
output
more power
to
the
speakers this way (check amp/receiver specifications).
OTHER POSSIBLE
SPEAKER
CONNECTION OPTIONS:
Series
Wiring
of
Two
Pairs
to
one Amp/Receiver:
Instead
of a
parallel
connection using a series connection
as
shown has the amp/receiver work
at
16
Ohms
but this cuts
the power going
to
each of the speakers
usuolly
in
half.
If
you are using a surround (7/9/11
channel)
receiver
that
receiver
MIGHT allow
connection
of
an
additional
pair of speakers
to
unused surround channels
for
use in a
different listening area
or
may have a
"Zone
2"
capability
to
connect those speakers (check your receiver manual)
Using an outboard speaker switcher:
Several types of
available
selector boxes
allow hookup of multiple pairs
of speakers to one amplifier/receiver
and
allow
switching
between them.
Some
models allow
simultaneous
play of two
pairs of speakers.
(see
your audio dealer for
availability).
