Speaker connections
You can connect 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm or 16 Ohm speakers to
Channel 1 and/or Channel 2 of the amplifier. If you connect
two pairs of speakers, be sure to follow these guidelines:

• Speakers which are connected to the same channel are

part of a pair, and must be of the same impedance.
PREAMP OR MIXER • Speakers connected to different channels are NOT part
