Loudspeaker Connection
In a constant voltage speaker system, each loudspeaker's step-down transformer can be designed for a single power level or it can have multiple taps, one of which is selected to match the desired power level to be applied to the loudspeaker. Transformers with various taps allow the installer to adjust the sound pressure level up or down at an individual loudspeaker. To minimize power losses, the wires connecting the loudspeaker to the step-down transformer are kept as short as possible. Purpose-built models are available that have the transformer contained within the loudspeaker enclosure. All of the loudspeaker step-down transformer primaries are connected in parallel to the constant voltage line.

Famous quotes containing the word connection:
“We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
