Transformer

NOTE:  The Transformer may be used with amplifiers that have 8- or 16-ohm
       speaker outputs, but the efficiency of the amplifier will be reduced
       - you won't get the full power of the amplifier.

The Transformer may be used with amplifiers that have up to 100 watts of
continuous output power per channel.

Also, one Transformer may be used for each channel of a stereo PA amplifier
or home stereo amplifier/receiver.

1.  Connect the 4-ohm terminal of the Transformer to the speaker terminal
    of your amplifier.  Keep the Transformer as close to the amplifier as
    possible, and use large gauge wire for better performance.

2.  Connect the 70-volt output of the Transformer to the speaker line.  Be
    sure to use the proper gauge wire, as listed below, for the length of
    wire and amount of power you plan to use.

    50 feet (15m) or less wire with 50 watts or less power = 18 gauge wire
    50 feet (15m) or more wire and/or 60 watts or more power = 16 gauge
    wire

    NOTE:  A lower wire number means larger size wire.

3.  Connect the speakers to the 70-volt speaker line using a 70-volt/10
    watt speaker transformer (32-1031) for each speaker.  Be sure to use
    the correct wattage and impedance taps on each speaker transformer. 
    See the instructions supplied with the speaker transformer (32-1031).

    The same wattage tap should be used on all speaker transformers and the
    total wattage must not exceed the maximum power of the amplifier.  For
    example, if you have 10 speakers and are using the 5-watt tap, your
    amplifier must deliver at least 50 watts (10 speakers x 5 watts).

The impedance tap used on each speaker transformer must match the impedance
of the individual speaker.

CAUTION:  Be careful not to accidentally connect together the + and - wires
          of the 70-volt speaker line.
