1. AC Mains – connect the power supply cable to the Neutrik® PowerCON TRUE1 connector
on the rear panel of the MSX sub. Do not connect the other end of the cable to a live AC
supply at this stage.
2. Connect the amplifier outputs to the MLA Mini cabinets using the pre-made cable
assembly supplied (if length permits - configuration-dependent. Some configurations
will require longer cables). Note the colour-coding (orange and green); also note the
wiring diagram on the MSX rear panel adjacent to each of the OUTPUT connectors.
Plug the orange NL8 connector into the left-hand OUTPUT socket. Plug the green NL8
connector into the right-hand OUTPUT socket. Note that the other ends of the cable have
different lengths of ‘tail’. This is to identify which cable connects to which cabinet.
IMPORTANT:
The wiring instructions differ between ground stack configurations and flown
configurations. Use the correct set of instructions for the arrangement you are using.
Ground stack configurations:
•
Plug the orange-coded NL4 with the shorter tail into Cabinet 2 (the
second cabinet from the bottom of the array)
•
Plug the orange-coded NL4 with the longer tail into Cabinet 3 (the
third cabinet from the bottom of the array)
•
Plug the green-coded NL4 with the shorter tail into Cabinet 1 (the
bottom cabinet in the array)
•
Plug the green-coded NL4 with the longer tail into Cabinet 4 (the top
cabinet in the array)
