5. CONNECTION
The Studiomaster Professional XVP Series are equipped with high quality speakon connectors. Two
connectors are installed in parallel allowing an additional speaker set to be installed.
The pin arrangement of speakon connector for full range:
1+ = In (+)
1- = In (-)
2+ = Not used
2-= Not used
Note
Each speaker connected in parallel increases the load on the amplifier and can add up to a total load
that may exceed the amplifier's capabilities, leading to possible damage.
1) Wire size:
Please use cable of the correct guage in order to obtain optimum performance from your speaker
system. We recommend that your cable should be no smaller than 14 gauge. For cable of 100 ft to
250 ft, use cable no smaller than 12 gauge.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES:
2) Matching amplifier
To get the maximum performance from your XVP series Loudspeaker, Audioplus recommends the
following guidelines.
Carefully Monitored Application:
For carefully monitored applications, where the peak transient capability must be maintained, the
amplifier should be capable of delivering twice continuous power rating of the speaker. As an
example, a speaker rated at 1200 continuous watts can be safely driven by an amplifier capable of
2400 watts power output.
Routine application:
For routine application where high continuous, but non-distorted output is likely to encountered, the
amplifier power rating should match the continuous power rating of the speaker.
• Two 8 Ω loud speakers in parallel make 4 Ω total load.
• Four 8 Ω parallel connected loud speakers make a total load of 2 Ω , which is not suitable for
many amplifiers to handle.

6. Specifications:
To protect you system
a) Use adequate clean power to drive the system to required levels. Avoid clipping or overloading your
power amplifier.
b) Recognize and respect the known limits of your equipment.
c) Consider adding a peak limiter, such as the compressor/limiter to your system to electronically limit
potentially damping.
d) To get the best performance from a loudspeaker, the amplifier should be rated higher in terms of
watts. It wouldn't be unreasonable to connect a 200 W amplifier to a 100 W speaker, and it won't
blow the drive units unless you push the level too high.
