Connecting Up Your Speakers
All PJB speakers feature genuine Neutrik NL4MP SPEAKON, airtight loudspeaker sockets featuring low resistance silver
contacts. They have a current rating of 40 amps, making them the ideal bass instrument speaker connection. Using both
the 2 positive and 2 negative connections in parallel results in each PJB speaker connection capable of handling peaks of up
to 80 amps!
The two Speakons on the rear recess plate allow parallel-connected speakers to your amplifier. Just plug your amplifier into
the input socket, and then connect your other speaker to the link out socket. If you are using two speakers connected to
your amplifier, a better way is connecting each speaker directly to your amp's output-sockets. This will
give a lower cable resistance, improving sound quality.
Ideally, you should use these cabinets with PJB amplifiers, because they are designed to work perfectly together.
Before turning on power, connect your speakers to the amplifier. Keep the speaker cables as short as possible.

CONNECTION
CAUTION!
Take great care in stacking speaker cabinets. Make sure locked wheels or rubber feet are sitting correctly in the cabinet
recesses. Taller configuration stacks will have higher center of gravity and therefore less stability. DO NOT try to move
speakers and amps stacked on each other. A large loudspeaker enclosure falling could cause you or others serious injury.
Take the greatest of care when transporting your rig. Speakers should be rolled on casters individually and not stacked. Do
not take any unnecessary short cuts that you may regret!
