7.2.2 Connecting the SB18 to the LA4 or LA8
Each of the SB18 enclosures is connected to an LA4 or LA8 output channel ranging from channel 1 through 4. On the
LA8 only, additional cabinets can be grouped in pairs in parallel with the first ones. Therefore a single LA4 amplified
controller can drive up to four SB18 enclosures (Figure 7 and Figure 8), and a single LA8 amplified controller can drive
up to eight SB18 enclosures (Figure 9).
Note: The system resources are optimized for a multiple of four SB18 enclosures.
