Speaker Cable

Your HDN-8 transducer is a high-power device. We recommend using a high qual-

ity oxygen free copper two-conductor speaker cable. For runs less than 50 feet

we recommend 16 gauge cable minimum, and for longer runs we recommend 14

gauge or larger cable. Note that most municipalities require the use of CL2 rated

speaker cable for cable runs through walls and ceilings. If drilling holes for rout-

ing the cable through studs in your wall, your local code may require you to ﬁll the

hole that the wire passes through with a ﬁre-resistant caulking material to slow the

spread of ﬁre.

Connections

Remove about 4" of the outer cable jacket to expose the inner wires (for CL2 or "in-

wall" speaker cable only). Strip 1/8" of insulation from each wire and install "Fast-

on" spade connectors by crimping or soldering onto the bare conductors. After

installing the connectors onto each wire, connect the wires to the terminals of the

HDN-8. When connecting the wires to the HDN-8 transducer, be sure to observe

proper polarity for the best sound. Most CL2 rated speaker cable has red and black

conductors within the jacket, so connect the red wire to the red terminal on the

HDN-8, and the black wire to the unmarked terminal on the HDN-8. The red (+) ter-

minal on the HDN-8 should correspond to the red (+) terminal on the ampliﬁer, and

the unmarked terminal should correspond to the (-) terminal. Verify that the spade

connectors engage ﬁrmly with the tabs.

Troubleshooting

Should your HDN-8 not work properly, check the following:

No sound or quiet/strange sound:

Make certain you observed proper polarity when multiple transducers are

used. Check the connections at each end of the cable for proper polarity.

Ampliﬁer mute feature or protection mode is activated. Check for short

circuits in speaker wiring.

Loose connection at either the ampliﬁer or the transducer. Double

check connections.

Bad speaker cable. Replace suspect speaker cable.

Ampliﬁer cuts on and off:

This could be caused by a short circuit between the positive and

negative leads. Check the connections at the ampliﬁer, and then at the

transducer; make sure that no strands of wire from one connector are

touching the other connector.

The impedance load for the ampliﬁer is too low. This may be caused

by connecting too many HDN-8 drivers to one channel of the ampliﬁer.

Some ampliﬁers provide automatic protection against damage from low-

impedance loads by disconnecting the ampliﬁer. Use series-parallel wir-

ing if necessary to maintain the necessary minimum impedance load.

Caring For Your HDN-8 Transducer

Use appropriate ampliﬁcation for the HDN-8's power rating and your application. If

the sound becomes distorted, reduce the volume.

HDN-8 transducers are designed to withstand outdoor environments, including

incidental exposure to water. They are not designed to be washed using a pressure

washer or hose nozzle. If debris accumulates on the housing of the transducer, use

a damp sponge or cloth to remove it.
