Loudspeaker Tap Setting
You can use a standard #2 or #3 Phillips or a
medium slot-blade screwdriver such (not the
one provided with the loudspeaker kit), or just
presswithyourthumbrmly,andtwisttoadjust
the power control dial on the front face of the
loudspeakerbafe. As shown in Figure 34, you
canmakeanyofvedifferentsettings,although
the dial has dual calibrations so at rst glance
it appears to have ten settings. The 8-ohm
position is the same on both sides and is for a
low impedance connection. On the left side of
Figure 34’s closeup detail view are the power
values for 100-volt connections, and on the right
side the power values for 70-volt connections.
(The actual power values on this dial will vary with
the model of loudspeaker installed.)
Note: The letters NC mean "no-connect" but
they do not actually break a connection. DO
NOT USE this setting if you’re using a 100-volt
distribution scheme as the loudspeaker may
draw excessive power; it corresponds to the
highest power that can be drawn with a 70-volt
source.
This control makes it very easy and fast to balance
an installation since there is no need to drop the
loudspeakers out of their back cans and move
wires to different terminals.
