Connecting the VX810
About Impedance Before you hook up your speaker cabinet, be sure that you understand a little about impedance. Impedance is the electronic load that the speaker puts on the power amplifier and is measured in Ohms. Here is the tricky, yet simple rule of impedance: When two speakers are wired in "Parallel" the total impedance is cut in half and when two speakers are wire in �Series� the total impedance is the sum of the speakers individual impedance.

The VX810 impedance is 4 Ohms. So, when two VX810�s are connected together in parallel, the total impedance is 2 Ohms. The impedance of your speaker also has an effect on your amplifier. In general, the lower the impedance, the more power your amplifier will put out.

CAUTION: THIS IS A 4 OHM CABINET. CHECK THE MINIMUM IMPEDANCE OF YOUR AMPLIFIER BEFORE CONNECTING A SECOND SPEAKER. DAMAGE TO YOUR AMPLIFIER CAN OCCUR IF IMPEDANCE IS TOO LOW.
IMPORTANT: There is a minimum safe impedance so be sure to check the manufacturer�s recommended impedance for your amplifier to avoid any damage to your amplifier or voiding your warranty. Connecting the VX810 to Your Amplifier The VX810 connections are made via 1/4� phone jack located on the rear panel jack-plate. Be sure to make your connection with un-shielded speaker cable. Connect the Amplifier Output to the speaker Input on the VX810�s rear jackplate.
