1. Amp Input Terminals
These terminals are connected to the output of a low-impedance amplifier like
the Inter-M QD-4240 (4Ω/60W), QD-4480 (4Ω/120W) or QD-4960 (4Ω/240W).
2. Speaker Output Terminals
These output terminals may be connected with high-impedance distributed
speaker systems.
For 120VAC operation, the 70V output terminal is recommended. For 230VAC
operation, the 100V or 70V terminals may be used.
The chart below shows recommended impedances.
