Operating/Use
1.
The LIX-C Series accept cables with Speakon™ and 1/4” jack
connectors. The units feature two jack sockets and two Speakon™
type connectors situated at the rear of each cabinet. These are
connected in parallel. You can connect The lix-c cabinets in
parallel. Take care to avoid adding too many speaker systems in
parallel. Each parallel connected speaker increases the load on the
amplifier and can add up to a total load that may exceed the
amplifier’s capabilities, leading to possible damage. Two 8
Ω
loudspeakers in parallel make a 4
Ω
total load. Four 8
Ω
parallel
connected loudspeakers make a total load of 2
Ω
, which is too low
for many amplifiers.
2.
Connect the speaker cable securely to your LIX-C cabinet and
power amplifier (the amplifier should be
off, power down mode
).
Where possible use Speakon™ connectors as they are
professional high current connections specifically designed for this
application. Try to use the correct type of speaker cable according
to the handling ability of your Lix-C Series Cabinet. Use 2
conductor equal stranded insulated cable for speaker runs. It is
always advisable to use heavier conductor cables on longer runs.
3.
If using Speakon™, insert the speakon and rotate 1/8 of a turn
until locked in. If using a jack plug insert until secure.
4.
Power up amplifier with levels on zero. Confirm units are
operating.

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS
carefully before operating this product.

RETAIN
these instructions.
3. COMPLY WITH WARNINGS -
All warnings and instructions for this
product should be adhered to.
4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS -
In order to avoid damage, it is
advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off any
sound system. With all system parts connected, turn on source
equipment, tape decks, instruments, mixers, signal processors etc.,
BEFORE turning on your power amplifier. Many products output turn
on and turn off transients that can damage speakers. By turning on
your power amplifier LAST and making sure the amplifier’s input
controls are at minimum any transients “upstream” of the amplifier are
not amplified and passed to the speaker. Wait until all system parts
have stabilised, then bring up amplifier controls to operating level.
This should take no more than a few seconds. Similarly when
shutting systems down, always turn down amplifier input controls and
then turn off your amplifier BEFORE shutting down other components.
Professional amplifiers often feature delayed turn on/off circuits to
perform these functions for you automatically.
5. CABLES -
Never use shielded or microphone cable for any
speaker connection as this will not be heavy enough to handle the
amplifier load and could cause damage to the complete system.
6.
