RCF V218-S [7/12] Connections

ENGLISH

CONNECTIONS

WARNING: loudspeaker connections should be only made by qualiﬁed and experienced

personnel having the technical know-how or sufﬁcient speciﬁc instructions (to ensure

that connections are made correctly) in order to prevent any electrical danger.

To prevent any risk of electric shock, do not connect loudspeakers when the ampliﬁer is

switched on.

Before turning the system on, check all connections and make sure there are

no accidental short circuits.

The entire sound system shall be designed and installed in compliance with

the current local laws and regulations regarding electrical systems.

‘VMAX’ series loudspeakers are designed for indoor use only. If installed

outdoor, loudspeakers shall be protected against water.

V35 and V45 Models

On each rear panel:

- A switch to select either ‘FULL RANGE’ (one ampliﬁer and use of

the internal crossover) or ‘BI-AMP’ (bi-ampliﬁcation and external

crossover)

- 2 sockets (input and output, linked

in parallel) for ‘Neutrik Speakon NL4’

(4-pole) plugs.

‘FULL RANGE’ MODE

The impedance value of V35 is 8 Ω; V45 is 4 Ω

Connect the positive wire (ampliﬁer ‘+’ output) to the pin 1+ of the SPEAKON connector.

Connect the negative wire (ampliﬁer ‘–’ output) to the pin 1– of the SPEAKON connector.

The pins 2+ and 2– are not used.

‘BI-AMP’ MODE

Two ampliﬁers are necessary (one for low frequencies, one for high frequencies) and an

external crossover.

See in the speciﬁcation table the impedance of each way, the handling power and the

suggest crossover frequency.

Connections:

- Low frequency ampliﬁer + output to the pin 1+ of the SPEAKON connector

- Low frequency ampliﬁer – output to the pin 1– of the SPEAKON connector

- High frequency ampliﬁer + output to the pin 2+ of the SPEAKON connector

- High frequency ampliﬁer – output to the pin 2– of the SPEAKON connector.
