Wiring
The speaker is equipped with two parallel Speakon connectors.
Make sure that all units are switched off and all controls are turned down before connecting your CA systems.
−
We recommend the use of high-quality speaker cables provided by KLING & FREITAG.
−
For connections to the power amplifier inputs, please use 2-pin shielded microphone cable with high-
quality connectors.
−
Avoid ground loops (see chapter 11.2)
−
Please pay attention to the respective pin diagrams in this manual!
−
Make sure that the +/- polarity of the speakers at the amplifier is correct. When simultaneously using
power amplifiers from different manufacturers, be sure to use the correct specific pin configuration. It
may be necessary to modify the pin configuration on the power amplifiers or on the connectors leading to
them.
−
Upon completing the wiring, ensure that the connected speaker channels are working in phase. To do so,
use i.e. a phase checker. A phase error can also be recognized when the connected channels are used
simultaneously. During simultaneous use the bass frequencies become notably quieter or the mid-
frequencies such as voices cannot be located.
−
To avoid loss of power, the cables should have a minimum wire gauge of 2.5 mm² -
more for longer cabled distances. A minimum wire gauge can be easily calculated with
the following formula:
If several loudspeakers are connected, the signal can be linked through from one loud-
