Connecting speakers to your Bowers & Wilkins CDA-2HD Distribution Amplifier ensures optimal audio performance. Here's a straightforward guide:
For Stereo Speakers:
- Locate the SpeakOn connector on the amplifier. Connect your speaker cable to this connector.
- Pay close attention to polarity. Connect the positive (+) terminal of your speaker cable to the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the amplifier. Repeat this for the negative (-) terminals, maintaining correct polarity.
- Important: Do not connect the negative terminals of the left and right channels together.
For Bridged-Tied Load Speakers:
- Access the product configuration page and select the BRIDGE-TIED LOAD option.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of your speaker to the positive (+) terminal of the right channel (R) on the amplifier.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of your speaker to the negative (-) terminal of the left channel (L) on the amplifier.
- Ensure you're using the correct terminals, specifically those marked for bridged speaker pairs (1- & 2+).
- Note that the minimum load impedance in bridge mode should be 8Ω to prevent distortion or overheating. Refer to the Bowers & Wilkins CDA-2HD's instruction manual for detailed diagrams and safety information. By following these steps and paying close attention to wiring, you can enjoy high-quality sound from your speakers through your Bowers & Wilkins CDA-2HD Distribution Amplifier.
