Pictured here is a simple set-up using either 
a CX12-A or a CX15-A.
This would be typical of a PA system for 
aerobics class, vocal PA, Karaoke or a 
monitor for a DJ or singer.

Plug your CD player into the `CD` input, 
you control the volume using the CD level 
control.

If you need to use a radio mic / headset mic 
or mixer output , plug into the line input.

If you are using a handheld microphone you 
plug into the `Mic` input.  

If you need 2 speakers in your system, just 
plug any 8 ohm cabinet into the extension 
speaker socket. This will make full use of the 
built in amplifier and allow you to provide 
more even sound coverage for your 
audience.

The line out can be used for driving 
additional active CXA cabinets.

This system benefits from the addition of 
some passive CXsub’s, this will give  more 
weight and punch to the bass often needed 
in larger rooms/venues. This is particularly 
useful for making sure the kick drum / bass 
lines are heard.  

The passive CXsubs are connected to the 
extension speaker outs on the CX12-A or 
CX15-A. 

This system accept line level inputs on 
phono’s  and 1/4” jacks via the line or CD 
inputs. This provides good compatibility with 
most audio sources such as mixers / CD 
players etc.

Whilst microphones would normally be 
connected to the external mixer you can 
drive this system as in the previous setup - 
this gives you flexibility to take only the 
sound equipment to the gig that you need.
