CONNECTIONS AND ELECTRIC DIAGRAM
The LAs118
v2
is connected through Neutrik® SpeakON® NL4 plugs (not supplied). A wiring description is
printed on the connections panels located on the back of the cabinet.
The 4 pins of the two Neutrik® NL4 SpeakON® sockets are wired in parallel within the enclosure. Either
connector can be used to connect to the amplifier or another LAs118
v2
element. See the table and the diagram

CABLE SELECTING
Selecting a cable consists of calculating the correct cable section (size) in relation to the load impedance
and the required cable length. A small cable section will increase its serial resistance, which will induce power-
loss and response variations (damping factor).
The following table indicates, for 3 common sizes, a cable length with a maximum serial resistance equal to
4% of the load impedance (damping factor = 25):
