The 100-watt output of the basic Model PA300 was designed to drive a single high power speaker. However, the essential difference between models is that the PA300*012-NY can drive one or two 11-ohm impedance, high or low power speakers. When two speakers are used they must be connected in parallel. B. MANUAL CHANGES. Control Cable Wiring Diagram.
