Input Connectors
Two types of connectors can be used:
• The plugable "Eurostyle" input connector (Figure 34 callout 2) has four terminals to facilitate connection on a distributed line. It also
allows the installer to pre-wire the venue before the loudspeakers themselves are installed. The connector accommodates wire up to
8 AWG/10 mm². Ensure proper and consistent polarity at each connector. Always secure the connector to the loudspeaker using
the retaining screws at both ends.
• The speakON NL4 connector offers 4 poles and accommodates wire up to 10 AWG / 6 mm². Refer to Neutrik (TM) instructions for
assembling.

Installing the Optional Input Cover
Due to the variety of cable diameters, the "cable gland" (suitable for 22.5 mm diameter hole) must be sourced independently.
The loudspeaker comes with a weather cover for the input cup to protect the input connections and switches from precipitation and
other weather hazards (Figure 1). Use the weather cover for all outdoor installations or any applications where the loudspeaker may
be exposed to moisture. To ensure good seal in the cable gland, use outdoor-rated cable with a round jacket up to 0.37 in or 9.4 mm
in diameter.
