MLA
Compact
Combined
with
CSX
‐
Live
218
In
this
example
the
CSX
‐
Live
218
subs
have
been
deployed
with
an
MLA
Compact
system
as
a
lower
cost
alternative
to
the
DSX
or
MLX
subwoofer.
Much
of
the
infrastructure
is
based
around
the
standard
MLA
compact
system
components.
Analogue
audio
is
routed
from
the
mixing
console
to
left
and
right
first
connected
to
the
CSX
‐
Live
218
Subs
linking
between
each
sub
using
the
parallel
output
XLR
before
linking
up
to
the
MLA
Compact
array
and
using
short
XLR
links
between
each
MLA
Compact
Cabinet.
It
would
of
course
be
perfectly
acceptable
to
send
an
independent
sub
feed
from
the
console
which
is
a
common
practice.
A
Master
and
Slave
rack
are
used
for
U
‐
Net
connection
to
all
MLA
Compact
cabinets.
The
advantage
of
an
MLA
Master
Rack
is
that
it
features
an
Ethernet
Switch
used
to
network
the
Merlin
Processors
in
all
racks
and
the
same
switch
can
be
used
to
link
the
CSX
‐
Live
218
subs.
The
MLA
rack
patch
panels
bring
the
Ethernet
connection
out
on
the
rugged
and
IP68
rated
ODU
connectors.
One
ODU
Cable
is
required
to
link
Ethernet
between
the
two
racks.
Some
adaptor
cables
are
required
to
go
from
the
ODU
connectors
to
the
EtherCon
connections
on
the
CSX
‐
Live
218s.
The
diagram
shows
two
such
cables
one
going
to
the
left
sub
array
and
one
to
the
right.
It
would
however
be
perfectly
reasonable
to
use
a
single
adaptor
to
the
right
array
and
then
use
EtherCon
to
EtherCon
cables
to
link
the
CSX
‐
Live
218
on
one
side
before
using
a
long
EtherCon
cable
to
cross
the
stage
to
the
left
array
with
a
further
link
cable
to
join
the
two
subs
on
that
side.
This
is
a
perfectly
acceptable
solution
for
up
to
8
subwoofers,
the
limit
of
the
network
daisy
‐
chain
configuration.
For
larger
sub
arrays
use
one
ODU
to
EtherCon
for
each
side
of
the
system
giving
you
a
maximum
of
16
subs
in
total,
8
subs
per
side
which
is
likely
to
be
plenty
for
all
but
the
very
largest
venues.
PC
Connection
to
the
Master
rack
is
either
by
WiFi
or
using
the
MLA
Front
of
house
rack
which
enables
the
Ethernet
Copper
Link
system
allowing
Ethernet
runs
of
hundreds
of
metres
over
twisted
pair
cable
using
standard
3
‐
pin
XLR
cables,
commonly
a
free
line
on
a
returns
multicore
can
be
used.
As
with
other
examples,
Device
Discovery
in
Vu
‐
Net
will
find
all
CSX
‐
Live
subwoofers
and
MLA
Compact
allowing
complete
system
control
and
monitoring
from
a
single
platform
on
a
tablet
PC.
