Wire Gauges
Each connector panel incorporates two Neutrik® Speakon® connectors. The second connector facilitates the
ability to "loop through" to other SR-X speakers in the system. The diagrams below detail the cable-side
connections.
Selection of the appropriate wire gauge is important to system operation. A cable that is too light will result in
amplifier power being wasted due to the series resistance of the cable and in loss of low-frequency performance
due to degraded damping factor.
