Connecting the speakers
In this chapter we inform you how to connect your speakers to mains and your signal source. Ensure
that the mains switch on the backside of the ampl
ifi er case is in position “OFF”. Only when your
speaker is completely connected (see chapters 5.1 and 5.2) you can take the device into operation
by use of the mains switch.
5.1
Connection of the speakers with the separate amplifi er
Only use the supplied Speakon cable to connect the speakers with their separate ampl
ifi ers!
The speaker and the separate amplifi er are paired by the same serial number, printed on the back of
each device. Connect the corresponding units with the Speakon cable. Ensure that the latch snaps in
place in the sockets of the speaker and the amplifi er by turning the plug clockwise.
To release the connector cable from the speaker and the amplifi er, slide the latch on top of the con-
nector back and turn the connector counter clockwise.
5.2
Mains connection
Check the mains voltage state on the backside of the device. If your local mains voltage does not
match the specifi cation of the speaker, please refer to your retailer or direct distribution. When the
stated and your local mains voltage comply connect the mains connector of the speaker to the
socket with the included mains cable.
5.3
Cable connection
The input of the integrated amplifi er is electrically balanced. When your signal source also utilizes
balanced connectors, please use a cable wired as stated in the table:
