In order to obtain highest sound quality, only use high-quality cables for connecting the devices. Make sure
that the cables are properly fixed.
Your speaker-system can be connected via balanced jack plugs or XLR-plugs.
Always connect the left and right channel for stereo operation. For mono operation, connect the mono-signal
with the left input. Connect the left Through-socket via a microphone cable with the right input. Only in this
way, the mono-signal is routed to the two tops.

Choosing appropriate connection cables
The speaker-system must only be connected via a sufficiently dimensioned cable. Too thin cables lead to
cable heatup or enormous power loss and loss in sound-quality.
For all speaker-systems up to 400 Watts, we recommend a cable diameter of 2.5 mm², for all other speaker-
cables 4 mm².
A high damping factor of your amplifier supplies a clear sound reproduction. Unnecessarily long and thin
cables will influence the damping factor and thus the low frequencies in a negative way. In order to
safeguard good sound quality, the damping factor should lie around 50. The longer a cable has to be, the
thicker it should be.
