Power Tap Selection

16-ohm or 70V

The Power Tap selector switch is used to set the appropriate power level or impedance for your system. Rotate the switch until the power level you require lines up with arrow.

IMPORTANT : When connecting to a 70V amplifier, make sure that the Tap Selector switch on the speaker IS NOT set in the “16Ω” position.

Speaker Connection and Polarity

Speaker wiring is terminated at a snap-lock input connector, with a positive and negative terminal. All wiring should be done prior to installation and then plugged into the rear of the speaker. Wire all speaker polarities the same way.

70V System Configurations

When designing a 70V system, the total of all power tap settings of all the connected speakers CANNOT EXCEED the output power of the 70V amplifier (amplifier power can exceed the sum of the speaker loads).

EXAMPLE : 16 + 32 + 8 + 8 + 16 = 80 Watts minimum amplifier output rating.

Low-Impedance System Configurations

When wiring together multiple MPS1/2 speakers that are set to 16 ohms, it is important to calculate (using Ohmʼs Law) the total load that these speakers present to the amplifier. The total load impedance of the interconnected speakers cannot be lower than the minimum load impedance rating of the low- impedance amplifier. Also, care must be taken to ensure the amplifier cannot overdrive the speakerʼs maximum power rating.

EXAMPLE : Four 16 -ohm speakers in parallel = 4 ohms. Also in this example,
the amplifier output power rating capability should not exceed 200W (4 X 50W,
the MPS1/2).

MPS1/2 Speaker Cable Connections and Suspension Instructions

In addition to the Main suspension Drop Cable, a backup Safety Cable is required for proper installation. Use wire rope or other drop line rated
for at least 100 lbs. to ensure a proper safety margin. The attachment point on the structure from which the speaker is to be anchored also must be able to
handle 100 lbs. NOTE : If using suspension cables with a cladding, be sure to strip away any coating so that clamping device being used will be pressed in direct contact with the bare wire cores.

NOTE: ALONG WITH THE MAIN DROP CABLE, YOU MUST ALSO USE A SAFETY CABLE WHEN SUSPENDING AN MPS1/2 PENDANT SPEAKER. BE SURE TO SECURE ALL RIGGING POINTS AND FOLLOW ALL THE CABLE Manufacturers MATERIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR
DEATH, AND LEGAL LIABILITY FOR YOU AND/OR YOUR COMPANY.

Attach the main drop cable to the MPS1/2 Main Drop Cable hole in the Suspension Attachment located on the top of the speaker. This Main Drop Cable will be the primary connection that will hold all the suspended speakers weight to the anchor point.

Likewise, attach the Safety Cable to the Safety Cable hole in the Suspension Attachment. This Safety Cable is meant to be a safeguard only, so when attaching to an anchor point allow for a small amount of slack in the wire, as the Safety Cable should not bear any of the speakers direct suspension weight to keep the speaker hanging level.

IMPORTANT : The MPS1/2 Mini Pendant is not an outdoor speaker. DO NOT expose the speaker to rain or moisture. The MPS1/2 should be installed by qualified personnel.
