The next step is to attach the speaker wires to the appropriate tap terminals located on the back of the speaker. Note: Use
22 AWG shielded, twisted pair on all wire runs. Com Code: 401882956. Pec Code: 2734-SPK. Connect speaker wire shield
to the ground (GND) terminal of the amplifier's output. Carry the ground through all speaker cables by tying the shields of
the speaker cables together in a "daisy chain" fashion. Do not connect the shield to the speaker itself. The shield is
only connected at the amplifier end and simply floats.
Note:
The speaker will also work perfectly well with these connections reversed. However, reduced low frequency response
may result.
Use the appropriate instructions below (7a for voice coil speakers, or 7b for 70V round speakers).

Note: With 70V speakers, select the lowest tap setting (1/8W or 1/4W) before testing the speakers. This ensures that
nobody will be "blasted" when a page is made for the first time.
