Figure 5: TARVOS-MS6B Speaker Rear Panel. The rear panel features a rotary switch for selecting 70V/100V power taps or 8-ohm low impedance operation, along with red and black speaker wire terminals.

Figure 6: TARVOS-MS6B Speaker Power Tap Selector. This detailed view shows the rotary switch with options for 70V (15W, 30W, 60W), 100V (30W, 60W), and 8-ohm (N/C - Not Connected for 70V/100V, 8Ω for low impedance).

3.3 Speaker Mounting

1. Sarudza Nzvimbo: Select a suitable surface for mounting, ensuring it can support the speaker's weight and is within reach of wiring. The speakers are IP55-rated for indoor/outdoor use.
2. Batanidza Bracket: Secure the U-bracket to the wall or ceiling using appropriate hardware (not included). Ensure the bracket is level and firmly attached.
3. Attach Speaker: Mount the speaker to the bracket using the provided screws.
4. Gadzirisa kona: The speaker can be rotated 180 degrees on its bracket for optimal sound dispersion. Tighten screws once the desired angle is achieved.

3.4 Wiring Connections

The STCA600-6Z amplifier supports both 70V/100V constant voltage systems and 4-16 ohm low impedance speakers. The TARVOS-MS6B speakers are equipped with a multi-tap transformer for compatibility with both systems.

3.4.1 70V/100V System Wiring

1. Speaker Tap Selection: On each TARVOS-MS6B speaker, use the rotary switch (Figure 6) to select the desired power tap (e.g., 15W, 30W, 60W for 70V or 100V). Ensure all speakers connected to a single zone are set to the same voltage (70V kana 100V).
2. AmpLifier Connection: Connect the positive (+) terminal of each speaker to the corresponding 70V or 100V output terminal on the STCA600-6Z amplifier's 70V SPEAKER ZONE OUTPUT section (Figure 2).
3. Common Connection: Batanidza iyo isina kunaka (-) terminal yemutauri wega wega kune COM chinongedzo pane iyo amplifier's 70V SPEAKER ZONE OUTPUT chikamu.
4. Zone Basa: Connect speakers for each zone to the respective zone terminals (e.g., Zone 1 speakers to terminals 21/COM, Zone 2 speakers to terminals 22/COM, etc.).
5. Yese Wattage: Iva nechokwadi chekuti wat yakazaratage of all speakers connected to a single zone does not exceed the amplifier's output capacity for that zone. The STCA600-6Z provides 600W total output.

3.4.2 Low Impedance (8 Ohm) System Wiring

Caution: Do not mix 70V/100V and low impedance speakers on the same amplifier output terminals. Use the dedicated 4-16 ohm output for low impedance speakers.

1. Speaker Tap Selection: On each TARVOS-MS6B speaker, set the rotary switch (Figure 6) to the 8Ω chinzvimbo.
2. AmpLifier Connection: Batanidza iyo yakanaka (+) terminal yemutauri wega wega kune 4-16Ω output terminal on the STCA600-6Z amplifier's DIRECT SPEAKER OUTPUT section (Figure 2).
3. Common Connection: Batanidza iyo isina kunaka (-) terminal yemutauri wega wega kune COM chinongedzo pane iyo amplifier's DIRECT SPEAKER OUTPUT chikamu.
4. Impedans Matching: Ensure the total impedance of connected speakers is within the amplifier's specified range (4-16 ohms).

3.5 Simba Connection
