6.2 Connecting speakers
The 8XT enclosure is driven and powered by the dedicated amplified controller
L-ACOUSTICS ® LA4 . Each LA4
amplification channel can drive one or two 8XT enclosures in parallel. The channel assignment varies upon the preset
selected by the user for a given application. For more details please refer to the
“LA4’’ user manual , also available on
the L-ACOUSTICS internet website @ www.l-acoustics.com .
The 8XT enclosure is equipped with two NL4FC Speakon
® connectors wired in parallel: one is for connecting to an
LA4 output channel, and the second is for connecting an additional 8XT enclosure.
To connect the 8XT enclosure to the amplified controller LA4 (Figure 3), L-ACOUSTICS recommends using
L-ACOUSTICS cables SP10 or SP25 with length of 10 m (32.8ft) and 25 m (82ft), respectively. Cable SP.7 should be
used for connection between two adjacent 8XT enclosures.
The L-ACOUSTICS wiring convention is as follows:
