CONNECTIONS

WARNING: loudspeaker connections should be only made by qualied and experienced

personnel having the technical know-how or sufcient specic 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 amplier 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.

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

outdoor, loudspeakers shall be protected against water.

On each rear panel:

- A switch to select either ‘FULL RANGE’ (one amplier and use of the internal

crossover) or ‘BI-AMP’ (bi-amplication 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 each loudspeaker is 8 Ω.

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

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

The pins 2+ and 2– are not used.

‘BI-AMP’ MODE

Two ampliers are necessary (one for low frequencies, one for high frequencies) and an

external crossover.

See in the specication table the impedance of each way, the handling power and the

suggest crossover frequency.

Connections:

- Low frequency amplier + output to the pin 1+ of the SPEAKON connector

- Low frequency amplier – output to the pin 1– of the SPEAKON connector

- High frequency amplier + output to the pin 2+ of the SPEAKON connector

- High frequency amplier – output to the pin 2– of the SPEAKON connector.
