RCS80-1 What is 70 Volt? 70-volt systems are the number one choice for any application where you want to install multiple speakers. With 70 volt there are a lot of advantages over 8-ohm systems. One of the main advantages is the simplicity of the wiring as well as how easy it is to match up speakers with the amplifier.

RCS80-1 Connections The RCS80-1’s 70V and 100V connections can be set up in a variety of ways. Please note that utilizing 70/100-volt connections and 4 to 16-ohm connections simultaneously is not recommended and will cause damage to the amplifier and the speakers.

4 to 16-Ohm Speaker Output You can connect two speakers to this terminal as long as the final impedance does not fall below 4 ohms. Although it is possible to connect more than two speakers to these terminals, it is not recommended. Please consult a professional if you intend to do so as incorrect installation could lead to irreparable damage to your amp and speakers.
