XE300 ONLY – CROSSOVER MODES
The XE300 may be switched between passive (full-range) mode and bi-amped mode with the
switch located on the recessed front panel between the two connectors.
•
Set the switch to
PASSIVE if driving the XE300 with a full-frequency range amplifier
channel, and wire only the
1+ and 1- pins of the NL4 connectors.
•
Set the switch to
BI-AMP if using an external electronic crossover or system controller in
conjunction with separate amplifiers (or amplifier channels) for LF and HF. Wire the LF
amplifier channel to pins
1+ and 1-, and the HF amplifier channel to pins 2+ and 2-.
CABLE LENGTHS
When connecting any loudspeaker system to an amplifier, it is recommended that the return
resistance of the cable used is less than one tenth of the nominal impedance of the loudspeaker
or loudspeakers in parallel. The table below gives an indication of the maximum permissible
cable runs for various conductor cross-sectional areas.
