connection
of
speakers
The
signals of the phone jack and speakON connector are connected
in
parallel. The first CBR receives
the signal f
rom
an amplifier amplifier(such as a power , a r mi , tpowe ed xer etc.) with he phone jack or the
speakON connector, and routes the the signal to second CBR. When connec
ti
ng CB
Rs
in parallel,
be
sure
to
check t l i f . ihe oad mpedance the ampli ier can drive The nominal mpedance of one CBR
is
eight ohms and the
total impedance of two parallel connected CBRs
is
four ohms.
In
t , fhis case the ampli
ie

to

less t lhan four ohm oad impedance.
