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 215XL impedance (many audio  
guys used the made up word “ohmage”,  
however the correct term is impedance)  
is 4 Ohms. So, when two 215XL’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 ampli-  
fier will put out.

IMPORTANT: There is a minimum safe  
impedance so be sure to check the  
manufacturer’s recommended imped-  
ance for your amplifier to avoid any  
damage to your amplifier or voiding  
your warranty.  
Connecting the 215XL to Your Amplifier  
The 215XL connections are made via  
1/4” phone jacks 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 215XL’s rear  
jackplate.  
Using the EXTENSION Output  
The 215XL provides a convenient  
Extension Output for connecting addi-  
tional speaker cabinets in parallel. Be  
sure to read the section above on  
impedance to insure a proper hook-up  
with your amplifier.
