4.4 Connection to LA8

To connect the 5XT to the LA8, two options are available.

Option A

Maximum of 24 enclosures per LA8

Six 5XT can be connected in parallel to each output channel on the LA8. Therefore, a single LA8 amplified

controller can drive up to 24 enclosures.

Impedance load

16 Ω for 1 enclosure, 8 Ω for 2 enclosures, 4 Ω for 4 enclosures and 2,7 Ω for 6 enclosures in parallel.

With various enclosure types, for example two 5XT and two SB15m, this cabling scheme needs a dedicated

custom preset.

 Connect a DO cable (DO.7, DO10 or DO25) to the PA-COM

connector of the LA8.

 Use a DOSUB-LA8 to split the audio signals into four channels, each one feeding passive enclosures or subwoofers.

 Use SP cables to connect additional similar enclosures in parallel with the first ones.
