Choosing the Appropriate Tap
70-volt systems is the number one choice for any application for which you want to install multiple speakers. With 70 volts there are a lot of advantages over 8-ohm systems. One of the main advantages is the simplicity of the wiring. as well as how easy it is to match up the speakers with an amplifier. You always want your 70-volt amp to have at least 15% or 20% more power than the combined watts your speakers are tapped at. For example, if you have a 200-watt/70-volt amplifier, you can install five 70-volt speakers that are tapped at 20 watts each or fifteen 70-volt speakers that are tapped at 10 watts each as long as they total close to 175 watts. When we say the word “tar, what we are referring to is the selector knob on the back of the PEN-525T. It allows you to set how many watts the built-in transformer will allow the speaker to get from the amplifier. There are taps set at 2.5. 5.10, and 20 watts for 70-volt input: 5.10. and 20 watts for 100-volt input. This range of taps allows for full customization of the sound for the space where the speakers are installed. In a restaurant, for example, you can tap your dining room speakers at 10 watts, the speakers in the outside seating area at 20 watts, and the ones in the hallway and bathrooms at 5 watts. Another great feature of 70-volt speakers is that you can mix and match any type, whether they are pendant speakers (such as these), wall-mount speakers, ceiling speakers, subwoofers, etc.Mother benefit of 70-volt speaker setups is the ability to run very long lines of speaker wire without signal loss. And, the wiring is very simple. You just connect all the positive terminals of the speakers to the positive 70-volt terminal(s) of the amplifier. The negative terminals on the speaker get connected to the negative (COM) terminals) of the amp. You do not have to worry about impedance as the power is constant.Please be sure to check out Rockville’s complete selection of high-quality 70-volt speakers, amplifiers, and accessories.
Setup
70V/100V Speaker ConfigurationThe total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value cannot exceed the output power (in watts) of your 70V amplifier. The example below shows a total of four PEN-525T speakers. Using the 20W taps, you will need an amplifier with at least 100 watts (4 x 20 = 80W). A good rule of thumb is to select an amplifier with 15% to 20% greater power, in this case, an amplifier that delivers about 100W.

Installation
These speakers are designed to be hung over-head via a drop cable (not included). Make sure that the drop cable has been cut to the proper length and that it has been properly secured to the mounting surface.
- Slide the end of the drop cable through the eye-bolt’s opening to create a loop.
- Close the loop by tying a knot (fig. a) or by using a fastener to secure it (fig. b, c., and M.Please note: The illustration displays some of the most common fasteners. There is a wide variety of fasteners available. Be sure to choose the one best suited for your installation.
