2.4 Choose Output Wire and Connectors
Amplifi er Output Connections: Crown recommends using
pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor,
heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You may use crimp-on
spade lugs for your output connectors. Slip the cable lugs under
the output screw terminals and tighten (Figure 2.7). To prevent the
possibility of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insu late exposed
loudspeaker cable connectors. Cover the output connections with
the supplied non-touch cover.
Using the guidelines below, select the appropriate size of wire
based on the distance from amplifi er to speaker. The wire sizes
apply to the 4-ohm tap.
Distance Wire Size
up to 25 ft. 16 AWG
26-40 ft. 14 AWG
41-60 ft. 12 AWG
61-100 ft. 10 AWG
101-150 ft. 8 AWG
151-250 ft. 6 AWG
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by
qualifi ed personnel. Class 2 wiring is required.
CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output power
wiring.
Use 2-conductor shielded cable and a 3-pin Phoenix-type
con nector for Preamp Line Output (Figure 2.7), and for MOH 1V
or 1W output (Figure 2.8).
Use 1-conductor shielded cable and RCA plugs for the Stereo
Line Out connector and the MOH 1V Line Output RCA Connector
(Figure 2.9).

Music-On-Hold signal of approximately 1 volt. See Figure
2.9.
• MOH 1W Line Output Connector: 3-pin Phoenix
connector provides Music-On-Hold signal of approxi-
mately 1 watt. See Figure 2.9.
• MOH 1V Line Output RCA Connectors:Two RCA
connectors (mono) for 1-volt Music-On-Hold output (in
