2.1.2 External loudspeakers connection
The minimum recommended load per amplifier is 3.2 Ohms and the maximum is 16Ohms.
It's possible to use a load of 2 Ohms but will result in increased distortion and loss of output power.
Any combination that gives a total load of between 3.2 and 16 Ohms is acceptable.
Note the phase (+ sign or Red dot) of the speakers, or loss of sound quality will occur.
Note:
never connect the two speaker outputs together in any way or connect them to ground.
This may cause severe damage to the amplifiers.
Examples of loudspeaker connection:
5 Speakers of 16 Ohms each 6 Speakers of 16 (8) Ohms each
Total load of 3.2 Ohms Total load of 10.6 (5.3) Ohms
8 Speakers of 16 (8) Ohms each 8 Speakers of 4 (8) Ohms each
Total load of 8 (4) Ohms Total load of 8 (16) Ohms
