2.2  Connections
The cabinets are fitted with a pair of NLT4 F/M connectors. All

four pins of both connectors are wired in parallel. The Y8 and Y12

loudspeakers use the pin assignments 1+/1–. Pins 2+/2– are

designated to actively driven subwoofers. Using the male

connector as the input, the female connector allows for direct

connection to a second cabinet.
The cabinets can be supplied with NL4 M or EP5 connectors as an

option.
Pin equivalents of the connector options are listed in the table

below.

d&b LoadMatch
Starting with the D80 amplifier platform, the LoadMatch function

enables the amplifier to electrically compensate for the properties

of the loudspeaker cable used without the need for an additional

sense wire. For applicable loudspeakers, LoadMatch is therefore

independent of the connector type used.

2.3  Operation

NOTICE!

Only operate d&b loudspeakers with a correctly configured d&b

amplifier, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the loudspeaker

components.
Applicable d&b amplifiers:

D80/D20/D12/D6/10D/30D.

The applicable d&b amplifiers provide two setups ("Arc" or "Line")

for the Y8 and Y12 loudspeakers. These are available in Dual

Channel or Mix TOP/SUB mode.

Arc and Line setups
The selection of Arc or Line depends on the curvature of the array.

Both setups may be used within one array.
The Arc setup is intended for line array loudspeakers when used in

curved array sections.
The Line setup is used for long throw array sections with three or

more consecutive splay settings of 0°, 1° or 2°. Compared to the

Arc setup, the mid/high range is reduced to compensate for the

extended nearfield.
