Audio Connections
Analog Audio
Connect the output from your line-level signal source to the XLR-3F INPUT connector on the rear
panel. This is an electronically balanced input. Users must provide their own XLR cables. The two
XLR-type connectors on the rear of each Redline series product, one female and one male, are
designed for professional audio signal levels, nominally 0 dBu (= 0.775 V). Normally, use the female
XLR as the signal input. Use the male XLR as a loop-thru output to connect the same signal input to
additional Redline products.
The wiring convention is as follows:
Pin 1: Shield
Pin 2: +/Hot
Pin 3: -/Cold
AC Mains Connection
Connect the supplied AC mains cord to the Neutrik® powerCON® socket on the rear of the
loudspeaker. Connect the other end to an AC mains supply receptacle, nominally 115 V 60 Hz or
230 V 50 Hz as labeled on the loudspeaker. If necessary, have a qualified electrician change the
cable plug as required for compatibility with the local ac mains receptacle.
WARNING:
Before connecting a Redline loudspeaker to the AC mains supply,
completely turn down the input signal to the loudspeaker using the input level attenuator. If not,
there could be excessive and possibly damaging sound levels from the loudspeaker when
energized.
There is no power switch on the loudspeaker. When connected to the AC mains the loudspeaker
will be fully operational, with the output level controlled by the signal source feeding the
loudspeaker and level of the input attenuator.
Linking power
The Neutrik® powerCON® AC mains and AC loop connectors
are wired in parallel to provide an AC mains inlet and outlet
on each Redline product. The blue AC mains inlet mates with
a Neutrik® powerCON® NACFC3A (supplied). The white AC
mains outlet mates with a Neutrik® powerCON® NACFC3B.
Therefore, to loop the AC mains from enclosure to enclosure,
connect an AC mains jumper cable as shown (jumper is not
included with Redline series products).
