Recommended 70V Tap Configuration
For normal background music, connect all six AF106T speakers using their 5W/70V tap. This produces a 30W speaker load on the 40W CSA140Z amplifier.
| Speaker | Quantity | Recommended Tap | Connected Load |
|---|---|---|---|
| TEXONIC AF106T | 6 | 5W each at 70V | 30W |
| Complete System | 6 Speakers | 5W per Speaker | 30W Total |
Amplifier reserve: A 30W connected-speaker load leaves 10W of unused capacity on the 40W amplifier, providing 25% operating reserve.
Lower-volume option: Selected speakers may use the 2.5W/70V tap in hallways, reception areas or quieter rooms. Recalculate the complete load whenever tap settings are changed.
70V Speaker Wiring
Amplifier Connection
- Use the CSA140Z 70V and COM terminals.
- Connect all six speakers electrically in parallel.
- Maintain consistent polarity throughout the system.
- Switch off and disconnect the amplifier before wiring.
AF106T 5W/70V Connection
- Connect amplifier COM to the black speaker wire.
- Connect amplifier 70V to the red speaker wire.
- Insulate the unused white tap wire separately.
- Do not allow unused conductors to touch.
Important Connection Warning
Use the CSA140Z 70V output for this package. Do not connect the AF106T speakers to a conventional 4Ω or 8Ω output. Do not use 70V, 100V and low-impedance outputs at the same time.
Coverage and Speaker Placement
This six-speaker package can be used as a planning starting point for approximately 900–1,200 sq. ft. of normal background-music coverage in a reasonably quiet commercial space with typical ceiling heights.
Coverage is an estimate rather than a guaranteed specification. Final performance depends on room shape, ceiling height, speaker spacing, furniture, construction materials, background noise and preferred volume.
General Placement
- Distribute speakers evenly across listening areas.
- Avoid placing every speaker along one side of the room.
- Use a staggered layout in wide or irregular spaces.
- Keep background music comfortable for conversation.
Check Before Cutting
- Confirm the 170mm ceiling cutout.
- Check the available mounting depth.
- Avoid ducts, pipes, wiring and framing.
- Confirm the ceiling can support the installation.
