Speakon™ Outputs
CMX amplifiers offer a choice of output connections, with two Neutrik NL4MD Speakon™ jacks and a Terminal Block connector.
The Speakon™ connector is designed specially for high-power speaker connections. It locks in place, prevents shock hazard, and assures the
correct polarity.
The upper Speakon™ jack has both Channel 1 and Channel 2 outputs, so it is especially useful for Parallel, bi-amp, or Bridge Mono mode operation
(see Bridge Mono mode operating precautions on page 7). The other Speakon™ carries only the output from Channel 2.
For easier insertion, use the newer-style NL4FC Speakon™ connectors with quick-lock thumb latches
(Not shown) .
Speaker Cabling
Larger wire sizes and shorter lengths minimize both loss of power and degradation of damping factor. Do not place speaker cables next to
input wiring.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the conductor portion of the speaker wire exposed.
