TekTip: PK724 Amplifier wiring

Our technical support staff would like to remind our customers about some key wiring points for the PK724 amplifier and its accessories.

  • Twisted pair cable must be used.
  • Please adhere to the maximum cable length chart found below. (Also found in the PK724 installation instructions.) Running your cable longer than the recommended length may result in feedback.
    • 1 station 600 feet (180 meters)
      2 stations 300 feet (90 meters)
      3 stations 160 feet (50 meters)
      4 stations 80 feet (25 meters)
    • Maximum number of stations per cable: 4
      Maximum number of stations per system: 20
  • Twenty-two gauge wire must be used. The incorrect wire could result in distortion or loss of your signal. The correct wire gauge is shown in IL537, Page 2, Figure 2.
  • In IL537, Figure 3 displays twisted pair wiring for conductors 1 & 2 and conductors 3 & 4. Not using twisted pair cable may result in input/output distortion. Incorrect pair crossing may result in inductive feedback.

Please call us at TekTone® for the most recent revision of IL537 or if you have any further questions.
