Wiring of the connection cable to the Speakon
®
connector:
1
- Strip the cable for 20 mm of length and strip each wire for
8 mm of length . We suggest to use a cable with 1,5 ÷ 2mm
2
section wires (the insert terminals are however suitable for a cable
with wires up to a section of 4mm
2
/12AWG).
2
- Insert the cable into the bushing and into the chuck (white chuck
for a cable diameter of 5 ÷ 11mm; black chuck for a cable diameter
of 9.50 ÷ 15mm).
Fit a ferrule at the end of each wire and connect wires on the insert.
3
- The wire ends can be clamped in the terminals using a PZ1
screwdriver or soldered. Always pay attention to the symbols
shown on the connector body ! : connect the positive wire to the
terminal labelled 1+, the negative wire to the terminal labelled 1- .
Terminals 2+ and 2- are not used.
4
- After connecting the wires to the insert, lead it through the
body and screw down the body with the bushing.
Mating connector is a Neutrik Speakon
®
model NL4-FC.

Connection to the input sockets
• Use only loudspeaker cables (unscreened) having suitable cross section
(at least 2 x 1 mm2) and quality. Do not twist or sharply bend the cables
and do not allow for knots to be formed, because they may result in
insulation damage.
• When using cables with jack plugs, make sure of using a sturdy type,
suitable for speaker use. Do not use low quality connectors: they may
easily lead to short circuits or intermittent contacts.
Parallel connection of two or more systems
• Connect the IN socket of the second system to the LINK socket of the
second one. Please note that IN and LINK sockets are wired in parallel,
thus both of them may be used as input or output, indifferently.
• PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE PARALLEL IMPEDANCE:
if two systems are parallel connected, the resulting load
impedance for the amplifier will be 4 Ohm, a value that is within
the allowed range for all power amplifiers and powered mixers
manufactured by Montarbo and by most other manufacturers.
For 3 parallel connected systems, the resulting total impedance
decreases to 2,7 Ohm, and for 4 system to 2 Ohm. Some power
amplifiers and powered mixers cannot operate reliably with
these low values of load impedance.
Always check the technical specifications of your amplifier or
powered mixer for the value of the minimum load impedance.
Product care and maintenance
To avoid malfunctions and premature degrading of specifications....
• Never expose the loudspeaker for long periods to direct sunlight.
• Never expose the loudspeaker to heat sources such as radiators
or other products that produce heat.
• Never expose the loudspeaker to excessive vibrations or
mechanical shocks
• Avoid operating and storing the enclosure in damp or dusty
places: this may lead to malfunctions and premature degrading
of specifications.
• Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquid are not
spilled into the enclosure.
In public event don’t let people, musicians, technicians or anyone
put glasses, cups, ashtrays or cigarettes on the enclosure.
• Use a soft brush or a jet of air to clean the enclosure.
Do not use alcohol, solvents or detergents.
• Always leave the protective grille mounted on the enclosure.
• Take care of your connecting cables. Make sure that they are not
damaged, knotted or twisted.
• Do not force connectors.
• Before performing any connection, make certain that the power
amplifier or the powered mixer are switched off.
