Do I need a specific amplifier for this speaker?

Yes, being a passive speaker, it requires an external amplifier. It can be connected to a high-impedance amplifier (100V or 70V line) or a standard stereo amplifier (8 ohms), depending on the speaker's selector switch position.

Can the speaker angle be adjusted once installed?

Yes, the included mounting bracket allows you to rotate and tilt the speaker to optimally direct the sound towards the listening area.

Is the product sold individually or in pairs?

This product is supplied individually, allowing you to purchase the exact amount needed for your installation project.

How do I select between the 8 Ohm, 70V and 100V modes?

The speaker features a rotary control on the back, protected by a cover, which allows easy selection of the desired power input for 70V/100V lines or 8 ohm mode.
