In permanent installations SenseDrive can also be applied to
cabinets with NL4 connectors or fixed cable option (PG). The
connection of the negative signal wire (EP5 pin 4 of the respective
D12 output) to the SenseDrive wire (EP5 pin 5 of respective D12
output) is made in a breakout box close to the loudspeaker
cabinet. For an uncompromising SenseDrive performance the
connection should be done not more than 3 m (10 ft) away from
the loudspeaker.
d&b LoadMatch
Starting with the D80 amplifier, the LoadMatch function enables
the amplifier to electrically compensate for the properties of the
loudspeaker cable used without the need for an additional sense
wire. For applicable loudspeakers, LoadMatch is therefore
independent of the connector type used.
Fixed cable connection
The Bi6-SUB loudspeaker is supplied with a cover plate
[1] and a
rubber grommet feed through
[2]. For indoor operation, these
items can be used to hide the connector panel, if required. For
unprotected outdoor operation, the connector panel must be
covered, i.e. both items must be used to achieve an IP degree of
protection of IP34.
To install the fixed cable connection, proceed as follows:
Tools required: Philips screw driver (#PH2).
1. Remove the knockout opening in the cover plate
[1] and
attach the rubber grommet
[2] correspondingly.
2. Insert the connection cable through the rubber grommet.
3. Undo the four screws of the connector panel.
4. Connect the cable wires to the screw terminal.
Þ
Observe the correct polarity!
5. Push the cover plate towards the connector panel until it fits
into place.
6. Finally fix the cover plate together with the connector panel
using all screws.
