PAGING
Paging kits (part numbers KOV-106-000-06, -09, or -10) are available to provide this func-
tion. They include a handheld microphone, an interface assembly and certain kits include 50
ft. of cable which connects at J15 of the preamplifier. The interface includes a microphone
volume control adjustment and the system works with a control on the preamp - “Music
Level During Paging” - to provide the location the ability to customize paging according to
their own preferences.
SPEAKER SYNOPSIS
250 Watts of RMS Power per Amplifier or 125 Watts per Channel
The maximum load per channel is 125 watts.
The generic speaker wiring diagrams cover 2 to 8 speakers. Diagram 1 has a 2-speaker
layout. If you only want the 2-speaker layout, then the maximum output of each speaker
would have to be rated 8 ohms and capable of 150 watts.
Question: Why a 150 watt rating on the speaker?
Answer: Safety factor/life of speaker
These speakers are expensive, providing a lot of sound in a localized area which does not
necessarily optimize the room sound.
A better way to distribute the sound is by adding more speakers. Diagram 2 has a layout of
4 speakers at 4 ohms each and only having a rating of 75 watts each, which includes a
safety factor. The expense factor should now be less for each speaker.
For a really big room, Diagram 3 may be the best scenario. Diagram 3 shows a series/
parallel hookup with up to 8 speakers. The advantage is the ratings are 8 ohms at only 35
to 40 watts each. Thus giving you a lot of sound at a reasonable price. To ensure the
speakers work correctly, the 2 wired in series should be of the same make and model.
Different models wired in series will not give equal outputs, and the frequency response
may degrade sound quality.
