CONNECTION TO MIxER
• If the mixer has XLR balanced outputs: use standard balanced XLR
connectors.
• If the mixer has XLR unbalanced outputs: in this case, unless using
a montarbo mixer, make sure that the Xlr outputs on the mixer are
unbalanced to
ieC 268 standard 1 = Gnd, 2 = Hot, 3 = Gnd.
• If the mixer has JACK balanced outputs (stereo jacks): it is possible to
use stereo jack-Xlr adapters, wired according to
ieC 268, pin 1 = ground (sleeve), pin 2 = tip, pin 3 = ring.
• If the mixer has JACK unbalanced outputs (mono jacks): use suitable
Jack-Xlr male adapters unbalanced according to
ieC 268 pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = tip, pin 3 = ground.
• Always use only heavy gauge, high quality SHIELDED cables (signal
cables).
• Always make sure that the mixer and the powered enclosures are
switched off before connecting them.
this will avoid annoying noises and signal peaks, which can also be
dangerous for the enclosures themselves.
