MM-4XP Cabling
The MPS-488(E/P) MM-4XP power supply provides both audio signal and power to the MM-4XP
loudspeakers. To connect the signal conducts of the Belden 1502 cable to a Phoenix connector:
1. Follow insulation stripping lengths.
2. Connect the shield to pin one at both ends of the cable.
Do not “lift” the ground conductor at either end.
3. When stripping insulation do not nick the insulation of
individual conductors.
4. Completely remove any exposed foil shield.
5. Protect the conductors from shorting against any other
conductor by using heat shrink or Teflon tubing on the
ground conductor.
6. Apply heat shrink at the point that the exterior jacket exposes the individual conductors.
Microphone Cabling
When connecting the signal conductors of the microphone cable to the XLR connector for
connection to the Constellation microphones:
1. Connect the shield to pin one at both ends of the cable. Do not “lift” the ground conductor
at one end. Do not attach ground connector to the chassis of the XLR connector. When
stripping the outer insulation, make sure to not damage the insulation of individual conductors.
2. Completely remove any exposed foil shield.
3. Protect the conductors from shorting against any other conductor by using Teflon tubing on
the ground conductor. Apply heat shrink at the point that the exterior jacket exposes the
individual conductors. Do not strip more insulation away from the individual conductors than
is necessary to have maximum contact with the solder cup of the XLR connector.
4. Pre-tin all three solder cups of the XLR connector and the wire conductors before making
the solder connection between the two. Do not overheat the wire conductors, as this may
cause melting of the insulation.
