Connections
Fig. 3: Connector wiring
The E12 cabinet is fitted with a pair of EP5 connectors. All five pins of
both connectors are wired in parallel. The E12 uses the pin assignments
1/2. Pins 3/4 and 5 are designated to active subwoofers, where pin 5
is used for SenseDrive (only available when using a D12 amplifier and
5-wire cabling). Using the male connector as the input, the female
connector allows for direct connection to additional loudspeakers.
The E12 can be supplied with NL4 connectors as an option.
Pin equivalents of EP5 and NL4 connectors and the fixed cable option
are listed in the table below.

Operation with D6 or D12
Select the controller setups E12 or E12-D.
Within the D12 amplifier they are available in "Dual Channel" and
"Mix TOP/SUB" mode. For combinations with active subwoofers fed by
a single 4/5-wire cable "Mix TOP/SUB" mode must be selected.
D6 and D12 provide the additional setups E12-X and E12-DX to be
selected when E12 or E12-D cabinets are used in combination with
passive E15X-SUB loudspeakers on the same channel. They provide a
dedicated correction for the combined frequency response of these
systems.
Selecting the E12 (E12-D) setup enables up to a total of two E12 (E12-
D) loudspeakers to be driven by the respective D12 or D6 channel.
Selecting the E12-X (E12-DX) setup enables a combination of one E12
(E12-D) and one E15X-SUB to be driven by the respective D12 or D6
channel.
In applications with low continuous levels and low ambient
temperatures up to three cabinets can be connected to a D12 channel.
Controller settings
For acoustic adjustment the functions CUT, HFA and CPL can be
selected.
CUT circuit
Set to CUT, the E12 low frequency level is reduced. The E12 is now
configured for use with E15X-SUB in active mode or other d&b active
subwoofers.
