¬ Power Amplifier Selection: It is important that loudspeakers are connected to power amplifiers that have outputs compatible to the type of loudspeaker being used. Loudspeakers with a 70V or 100V line-matching transformer fitted must be connected to a power amplifier with a 70V or 100V line output. Low-impedance 8 W or 16 W loudspeakers must be connected to amplifiers with a suitable low-impedance output.
