If you need something louder & crisper you can use 
some active sub cabinets and the crossover filters 
which are built into the CX-A cabinets.

These crossover filters allow you to cut most of the 
vocals from the sub speakers (which never sounds 
good) and let the vocals / mid /treble frequencies have 
more headroom in the tops.

There is little stereo information at bass frequencies  
so it is  quite normal to `mono’  the bass, if you have 
no stereo bass in your system you could lose the 
optional line out connection from one of the  CX12-A 
/ CX15-A speakers.

!

The CX12-A / CX15-A line out sockets

       are connected to the Input sockets on the                                                         
       CXSub-A.

!

 The extension speaker socket of the 

                                                      

active CXSub-A is  connected  to the 

       input sockets of the passive CXSub.

After listening tests we have found the following 
setting sounds best : - 

CX12-A / CX15-A

 Sub filter ON

CXSub-A    

 Phase = +

!

The active CXsub-A has a built in crossover 
which means it only reproduces bass frequencies. 

!

The active CX12-A / CX15-A sub filter cuts the 
bass frequencies from it’s speaker out. The line out 
is still full range.

These 3 setups give you an idea how you can connect 
together CX-A cabinets to create anything from 1 
speaker sound system to a multi speaker setup.

Definition of Terms and handy hints

Active :  has a power amp built in 

eg CX12-A , CX15-A,CXSub-A

Passive : No power amp - just the loudspeaker

 eg CX12, CX15, CXSub.

Hint 1 :  A CX-A active speaker can drive one 8 ohms 

passive loudspeaker from i ts extension 
speaker socket. Always use speaker cable for 
this type of connection.

Hint 2 : Line out are useful for driving the Line inputs     

of other  active cabinets (CX-A). Always use 
good quality line level/screened cable for this 
connection.
