INPUTS -
The V-8000/V-9000 amplifier allows you to use XLR female jack for balanced connection
per channel. Use this connection to connect the output signal from a mixer, cross-over or EQ to your
amplifiers. A balanced connection is recommended for cable runs longer than 20ft.
V-8000/V-9000
When constructing your own XLR cables follow the pin configuration described below for proper
connections. You may use the two XLR "Input Thru" jacks to jump a parallel connection to another
amplifier or other device. For example: Connect a XLR cable to the input of channel one. You may now
connect a XLR cable from the channel one "Input Thru" jack to the input jack of another amplifier's
channel one input. This will reduce the use of "Y" cables.
OUTPUTS -
BINDING POST/BANANA PLUG: Connect your speakers to the binding post outputs on the rear of the amplifier. The speaker wire may be
connected by bare wire (directly connected, usually for permanent connections), banana plug, or spade connector. Connections are made to
channel one and channel two outputs for Stereo Mode or across the red terminals of channel one and channel two for Mono Bridge Mode.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Although a speaker will operate with the positive and negative leads plugged into either terminal on the amplifier binding
post, be sure to plug the negative lead into the black terminal and positive lead into the red terminal. Ensuring proper polarity will avoid speakers
being out of phase that can cause a loss of bass response.
BANANA PLUG: (Figure 5)
When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using banana plug, be sure that the red and black caps on
the binding post are completely screwed in. Insert the banana plug into the caps of the binding post, be sure
that the banana plug is inserted securely to avoid the risk of popping out.
BARE WIRE CONNECTION: (Figure 6)
When connecting your speakers to the amplifier using bare wire, unscrew the red and black caps on the
binding post, be sure not to completely remove or unscrew the red and black caps. Strip back the wire
insulation ½" (13mm). Insert the bare wire into the hole that was reveled by unscrewing the binding post cap.
After inserting the wire into the binding post hole, screw the binding post cap down on the wire. To reduce the
risk of shock or damage to your amplifier, be sure that the wire connected to one binding post does not come
in contact with that of another.
