To choose the appropriate tap for the Rockville Rock Slim 70B wall speakers, you need to consider the power requirements and customization options for your space. The taps are the three spring-loaded push terminals at the rear of the speakers, with one black terminal and two red terminals.
The two red terminals allow for either 4 watts or 8 watts for 70-volt input only. This range allows for full customization of the sound based on the specific installation requirements. For example, in a restaurant setting, you can tap your dining room, hallway, and bathroom speakers at 4 watts, while the speakers in the outside seating area can be set at 8 watts.
It's important to note that with 70-volt speakers, you can mix and match any type of speakers, whether they are wall-mounted speakers like the Rockville Rock Slim 70B or in-ceiling speakers or subwoofers.
When wiring the speakers, connect the specific (4w or 8w) positive terminals of the speakers to the positive 70-volt terminal of the amplifier. The negative terminals on the speaker should be wired to the negative terminal on the amp. You don't need to worry about impedance as the power is constant in a 70-volt system.
To determine the appropriate tap setting, consider the total number of speakers and the desired wattage. The total number of speakers multiplied by the tap value should not exceed the output power (in watts) of your 70V amplifier. For example, if you have 12 total speakers and you're using the 8W taps, you will need an amplifier with at least 100 watts (12 x 8 = 96W). It's recommended to select an amplifier with 15 to 20% greater power, so in this case, an amplifier delivering about 120W would be suitable.
Refer to the provided owner's guide for more detailed instructions and illustrations on wiring and tap selection.
