WIRING

B 15 / B 18 / B 21 PASSIVE SUBWOOFERS

For B-Line passive subwoofers, audio signals are input and/or passed through a speakON

®

 NL4 connector. 

These wires should be connected as shown below:

It is recommended to use cables with at least 18 AWG conductor size. For long cable lengths, the maximum 

conductor size is 14 AWG. Those wires must be assembled by a qualified technician.

B 15A SELF-POWERED SUBWOOFER

B 15A

 subwoofer use powerCON

®

 connectors for the mains power input and link. Figure 6 shows how to 

plug-in and connect these wires.

Additionally, it uses XLR-3 connectors to input and loop audio signals. They follow the next plug-in and 

configuration scheme:

B-LINE ACCESSORIES
