It is possible to install long speaker runs
with the CPA-7B, M15W and PA-2A.
To minimize the loss of audio power in long
speaker runs, a transformer is required at
both the amplifier end and at the speaker
end of a long wire run. A minimum of two
transformers are always required (Parts
Express 1-800-338-0531, part # 300-040).
The transformer at the amplifier is referred to as the step-up trans-
former; the transformer at the speaker is referred to as the step down
transformer.

At the amplifier, connect the 8 OHM AUDIO OUTPUT to the 8 OHM
and COM taps of the step-up transformer’s secondary coil as shown.

1. Connecting the Audio Output
Select the step-up tranformer’s primary coil tap, which closest
matches the amplifier’s rated wattage output and connect
these taps to the beginning of the long wire run (see the chart
to the right).

If only one speaker is used, only one step-down transformer would be required.
Connect the speaker to the 8 OHM and COM taps of the step-down transformer’s
secondary coil as shown. Connect the same wattage taps (as those used on the
step-up transformer’s primary coil) of the step-down transformer’s primary coil to
the end of the long wire run.
1. Using Only One Speaker
In using two speakers located close together, connect the two speakers in paral-
lel and connect them to the 4 OHM and COM taps of the step-down tranformer’s
secondary coil as shown. Connect the same wattage taps (as those used on the
step-up transformer’s primary coil) of the step-down transformer’s primary coil to
the end of the long wire run.
2. Using Two Speakers (close together)
Multiple speakers (three or more) or speakers located far apart will require multiple step-down transformers.
Connect each speaker to the 8 OHM and COM of each step-down transformer’s secondary coil. To determine which
taps to use on each step-down transformer’s primary coil, divide the wattage of the tap used on the step-up tran-
former’s primary coil (2.5 for a PA-2A, 5 for a CPA-7B, 10 for a M15W) by the number of speakers and connect each
of the step-down transformer’s primary coils to the end of each long wire run.
Example (shown below): APA-2A driving four speakers located far apart from each other would equal 2.5 watts
divided by 4 which is 0.625 watts, so use the .625 WATT and COM taps on each step-down transformer’s primary
coil.

B. Step Down Transformers
The number of step-down tranformers and the taps used will depend on the number of speakers and the distances
between the speakers as shown below.
