Installing the fixed cable connection

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.

The applicable amplifiers provide two setups ("Arc" or "Line") for

the Yi8 and Yi12 loudspeakers. These are available in Dual

Channel or Mix TOP/SUB mode.

Selecting the respective Y8 or Y12 setup enables up to two Yi8 or

Yi12 cabinets to be driven by the respective amplifier channel.

Arc and Line setups
The selection of Arc or Line depends on the curvature of the array.

Both setups may be used within one array.

The Arc setup is intended for line array loudspeakers when used in

curved array sections.

The Line setup is used for long throw array sections with three or

more consecutive splay settings of 0°, 1° or 2°. Compared to the

Arc setup, the mid/high range is reduced to compensate for the

extended nearfield.
