P4 OVERVIEW
The P4 offers versatility and performance, perfect for both
residential and commercial audio applications, the P4
provides a wide listening field with exceptional sound quality.
Optimized design using a 4" polypropylene cone woofer that
provides deep clear bass paired-up with a 0.75" silk dome
tweeter that produces balanced, lifelike tone and musical
reproduction. The IP66 rated weather and dust resistant
enclosure is finished with an eye-pleasing matte texture that
fits perfectly into any home or commercial setting.
CONNECTIONS
The NEXT Audiocom P4 speaker can operate in standard low
impedance mode as well as in 100V/70V distributed lines. The
P4 has a selector switch on the rear for selecting the mode of
operations. The direction of the cut, on the switch, is used to
determine which mode of operation and/or power tap the
speaker should be working with. In this case the P6 is
configured to work as an 8Ω unit. Also, close to the selector
switch is the terminal block connector.
LOW IMPEDANCE
The NEXT Audiocom P4 in the low impedance mode of
operation has a nominal impedance of 8Ω. If there is the need
to connect multiple speakers in parallel, be sure to follow the
amplifier’s specifications in relation to the minimum allowed
impedance. Most amplifiers allow for a minimum 4Ω
impedance which corresponds to two P4 speakers connected
in parallel.

100V DISTRIBUTED LINES
The P4 comes standard with a transformer for 100V/70V
distributed lines, to use your speaker in the 100V distributed
line mode, use the selector to configure the desired power tap
(2.5W, 5W, 10W, 20W) for 100V and (1.25W, 2.5W, 5W, 10W) for
70V.
100V LINE INSTALL REQUIREMENTS
100V POWER AMPLIFIER REQUIREMENTS
Make sure you have a powerful enough amplifier for your
setup of P4 loudspeakers. It must have at least the total sum of
power values chosen on your P4 as power tap. Applying the
20% headroom rule, in this case, is the ideal scenario.
Considering the example above, for 100V, you will need at
least (10+5+20) x 1.2 = 42W of amplier power.
100V LINE SPEAKER CABLE REQUIREMENTS
On the table below you can find the maximum distance a
cable can deliver the amplifier full power.
INSTALLATION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The NEXT Audiocom P4 can be either suspended in a pendant
configuration, mounted on a wall or ceiling, using the
adjustable wall-mount stand and used in a garden. Prior to
installing, check the chosen structure for weight
bearing capability.
