What is the correct polarity for large venues?

Polarity has nothing to do with venue size. Speakers have drivers, which vibrate forward and backward very quickly to make sound. If you have two speakers totally in phase, they will vibrate forward and backward at the same time. If they are totally out of phase, one goes forward while one goes back. This will make the sound quieter than if you had just one speaker. You want your subs, mains, and any other speakers you have to be in phase, if they are not then you can reverse the phase on the subs, which will cause them to move back when they were moving forward and forward when they were moving back, and hopefully that will realign the phase of all of the speakers.

It is impossible to answer that question. All venues are different. Walls, floors, people, stage, speaker placement/ height and relationship to surroundings... etc etc etc...

Hi Myke, My experience with several of these type meters is that with the meter upright, and looking at the back, there is typically a "-" sign molded in the plastic of the case near the right side connector. Of about ten of these of various amperages, I did have one where this side turned out to be the "positive" post. I suggest passing a small current through the meter to verify polarity. If deflection is in the wrong direction, just swap connections. These meters will tolerate some reverse current without trouble. I am very happy with mine and have more coming. Good luck!

Gage 16 should be more than enough. Be sure you have a way to identify polarity, it may be either a strip on the cable insulation, different insulation colors for the cable pair, one cable made of "copper" copper, the other zinc silvered, or a with multimeter. Proper pairing of the "red and black" is essential for good sound quality.

As some have already answered correctly, it is "2 prong" and polarized."Polarized" meaning one of the two prongs/slots is slightly wider than the other.

My unit uses a "T" (commonly referred to as a 'Deans') connector and the polarity convention is that the top of the 'T' is the positive pole and the vertical leg is the negative pole.

Amazon carries for under sdollars make sure that you get the correct polarity--- Positive center negative outside!!!!

Polarity does matter, but the wire colors have changed from batch to batch (I've ordered several pairs over the past few years), making trial and error the only way to tell which is positive and which is negative. There is no harm hooking it up backwards, it just won't work until hooked up correctly. I have only had one break a wire internally (after crashing the dirtbike and breaking the mounting screw, it dangled by the wire for several miles before we noticed it.) Once home, just took it apart and re-soldered the wire to the board, replaced the broken screw, and back in business again.

As I recall, they are polarity specific. If they're in backwards, you won't get anything.

As shown in the photo, the yellow dial on the Left is the polarity selector. You can select which polarity you want.

Just pay close attention to polarity. The ribbed wire is the neutral/white. LEDs will not forgive you if you make a mistake.

Yes polarity matters. I don't know which is + or - however. I tested it one way, didn't work, reversed the polarity, worked.

huh? what in the world is polarity orientation? what is old relief band? you got me stumped.

You can plug it in either way, it is not polarity sensitive. You can not go wrong with this ths night light. We use them several places in our home. We found them once when we were staying at a strange/new/different location while traveling and really liked them and have bought 4 of them fof at home use, as well as, when traveling.

Center-tip-negative polarity is not the norm, easier to buy one here. You'll see one in the "customers...also bought" links--e.g. Planet Waves 9V Power Adapter, which has the polarity you need. Just make sure any adapter you use is "center tip negative".

This is a large speaker and has good and loud sound without much distortion. If you are planning small events, this is too big. If you are planning large events for Karaoke, it would work great. I do both large and small events and only pull out these (I have two) when I am in an area with 100+ people.

Either should work. Same maker means polarity should match. M-Audio makes a smooth, real-feel pedal.

Any time you mix brands you get into unsupported territory. That said as long as the upset settings are the same on both ends you should be ok but no promises. Fortune should have a Soho router similar to this though, why not go that route and have one throat to choke for tech support?
