Speaker Installation; Connecting The Speakers - Sonarray SR1 Instruction Manual

Types of wire
Color-coated, 14/4 direct-burial speaker wire is recommended.
NOTE: Please refer to the wiring chart below to determine
which size wire to use over a given distance.
W I R E G A U G E C H A R T
WIRE GAUGE
18 Gauge Up to 100 Feet (33 meters)
16 Gauge Up to 150 Feet (50 meters)
14 Gauge Up to 250 Feet (80 meters)
12 Gauge Up to 600 Feet (192 meters)
BEST PRACTICE: '14/4' refers to 14 gauge, 4 conductor
wire, it is most commonly found in 2 sizes, 14 gauge and
16 gauge. Using individual conductors with different colors
makes it easy to identify and access both amplifier channels.
Low voltage lighting wire can also be used but is only sold
as a 2 conductor wire. If using a 2 conductor wire, then run
two pairs of wires; one for each amplifier channel (Right/
Left).

Speaker Installation

1. Place the 8 satellites and 1 subwoofer in their approximate
final locations.
2. Dig a 4" to 5" trench to run the speaker wires in.
3. Starting at the amp location or wire connection point, run the
speaker wire through the trench to the first speaker location.

Connecting the Speakers

The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM allows the satellite speakers to
be wired together in a parallel-daisy chain configuration. In a
typical system with one zone of audio, simply run a 4 conductor
wire from the amplifier or connection point to the closest speaker.
Once you have designated the first speaker as either left or right,
continue alternating the wires between the left and right channels
creating a daisy chain of stereo satellites. See figure 2.
Note: The subwoofer can
be connected at any point
in the daisy chain.
