NL4 connection with cover plate
The two NL4 connector sockets of the cabinet's connector panel

are located in a recess to allow the use of the cover plate 

[1]

together with NL4 cable connectors, as shown in the graphic

opposite.

Note: Neutrik NL4FC type connectors must be used for this

option.

The cover plate is equipped with two knockout openings to allow

daisy chaining of the loudspeaker.

To use the NL4 connection, proceed in the same manner as

described in the previous section .

2.3. Operation

NOTICE!

Only operate d&b loudspeakers with a correctly configured d&b

amplifier, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the loudspeaker

components.

Within applicable amplifiers, the controller setup is available in

Dual Channel or Mix TOP/SUB mode.

2.3.1. Controller settings

For acoustic adjustment the 100 Hz and CSA function can be

selected.

100 Hz circuit
If the 100 Hz circuit is selected, the upper operating frequency of

the system is reduced from 140 Hz to 110 Hz.

It can be used when actively driven Bi6-SUB subwoofers are used

to supplement TOP cabinets operated in full range mode, for

example in a distributed sound system. The 100 Hz mode can also

be used to compensate for the effect of close coupling between the

Bi6-SUB and TOP cabinets operated in CUT mode.

CSA circuit
The CSA (

Cardioid Subwoofer Array) mode enables the

combination of three or multiples of three subwoofer cabinets into

an array which produces exceptional low frequency directivity

control.

The amplifier channel for the center subwoofer of the array, which

is physically pointed to the rear, has CSA selected. The forward

facing cabinets are driven with an amplifier channel set in the

standard mode. The resulting cardioid behavior of the array will

significantly reduce the energy radiated to the rear.
