CARVIN RL810T User manual

SPEAKER CABLES
12 gauge Speakon™ speaker cables will provide a secure connection and high cur-
rent transfer of power to the speakers. You can also use standard 1/4" speaker
cables instead of the
Speakon™ cables provided they are at least 16 gauge. You can
DAISY-CHAIN up to one additional speaker per cable by using the unused OUTPUT
jack (right side) on your speaker jack plate. Be sure to note the total impedance to
the amp so it is not lower than it’s recommended impedance.
See Typical Loudspeaker Impedance Configurations.
PRECAUTIONS
1) DO NOT EXCEED THE POWER RATING marked on the rear connect plate.
Excessive power will destroy drivers. 2) DISTORTION from power amps will destroy
drivers much faster than clean power. 3) WATER, MOISTURE, and DUST are harm-
ful to drivers causing failure which is not covered under warranty.
