Input jack sockets: they are best suited as for mobile (touring)
applications or when it is expected to frequently disconnect the
system. The two sockets are parallel connected. Use one of them
(at your choice) for connection to the power amplifier or the
powered mixer output. Use the other one‚ if needed, for parallel
connection of another speaker system.

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.
If not available, model NL2-FC may be used: this version has
contacts 1+ and 1- only.
