ELAC 4PI PLUS V Bedienungsanleitung/Sicherheitshinweise Seite 8

CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKER
There are 2 loudspeaker terminals on the rear of this add-on tweeter. This enables the connection to main
speakers. Connect the 4PI PLUS V in parallel to the main speaker. Connect the "+" pole of the add-on tweeter
to the „+" pole of the main speaker. Do the same with the negative pole "-" (see Fig. C).
If the main speaker is provided with a bi-wiring terminal with 4 input sockets, always 2 input sockets are
connected in parallel when cable suspension bridges are used. In this case, the cable of the 4PI PLUS V
can be connected to the other pair of input sockets (see Fig. D).
If the main speaker is operating in bi-wiring mode, (i. e. two cable pairs run from the amplifier, cable suspension
bridges are opened) the 4PI PLUS V must be connected to the tweeter unit of the main speaker (see Fig. E).
It is also possible to connect the 4PI PLUS V directly to the amplifier.
If your amplifier offers 2 loudspeaker outputs, the second output can be used for the ELAC 4PI PLUS V. In this
case, you have to make sure output B is activated (e.g. speakers A + B). This way, the 4PI PLUS V can be easily
switched on and off.
Cables with a length of approx. 4 meters should provide a cross-section of 2 x 1.5 mm². Cables with increased
lengths should provide a cross-section of 2 x 2.5 mm². For low-resistance main speakers, it is recommended
to use cables with a cross-section of 2 x 4 mm².
It is recommended, to use low-inductance cables. Cables with a low-inductance structure provide several tight,
crosswise interwoven conductors and return conductors. The ELAC 4PI PLUS V should be used with this certain
type of cable when long cable lines are required.
