Strip the speaker wiring back about 1/2", loosen the
screw enough to loop the wire around the shaft of the
screw (clockwise), and tighten down the screw with a
slot-head screwdriver.
Note: Make sure the taps on the speakers add up to
no more than the rated power for the amplifier being
used.
Connecting the PATX60
to a Constant-Voltage
Distribution System
In a constant-voltage distribution system, all the
speakers are connected in parallel. This makes it
easy to add or remove speakers from the system
without having to recalculate the impedance of the
load on the amplifier.
Simply add the taps on the speakers connected to
the system and make sure the total power indicated
by the taps does not exceed the rated power of the
amplifier.

the space provided on the PATX60 panel. Verify
that it is the same number that is on the original
connector plate.
Connections
The connectors on the PATX60 are screw terminals.
When using with a 70V distribution system, connect
either the 15W, 30W, or 60W terminal as indicated by
the top markings to the "+" side of the 70V system,
and connect the COM terminal to the "–" side of the
70V system.
When using with a 100V distribution system, connect
either the 30W or 60W terminal as indicated by the
bottom markings to the "+" side of the 100V system,
and connect the COM terminal to the "–" side of the
100V system.
DO NOT use the NC terminal in a 100V system.
