2.5 Choose Output Wire and Connectors
Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally
wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge
speaker wire and connectors. You may use 2-pole or 4-
pole Speakon
® connectors (Figure 2.5 ), banana plugs,
or bare wire for your output connectors (Figure 2.6). To
prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap or other-
wise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors.
Note: Binding post outputs on European models
come with safety plugs installed to prevent
European power-cord plugs from being
inserted. The side entry positions for these
connectors should therefore be used with Euro-
pean models.
Using the guidelines below, select the appropriate size
of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker.
CAUTION: Never use shielded cable for output
wiring.
