CONNECTIONS
The XLR connectors use the following AES standard:
PIN 1 = GROUND (SHIELD)
PIN 2 = HOT (+)
PIN 3 = COLD (-)
On the back panel you will find all the controls, the signal and current inputs. At first verify
that the voltage selector on the speaker is in proper position for your country (115 Volt or
230 Volt).
The switch shall be in proper position (unless moved from unauthorized people), but a
fast check will avoid problems. In case is necessary to change the voltage please call your
vendor or authorized RCF SERVICE CENTRE. This operation require the substitution of the
fuse value and is reserved to an RCF SERVICE CENTRE.
At this point you can connect the power supply cable and the signal cable, but before
turning on the speaker make sure that the volume control is at the minimum level (even
on the mixer output). It is important that the mixer is already ON before turning on the
speaker. This will avoid damage to the speakers and noisy “bumps” due to turning on parts
on the audio chain. It is a good practice to always turn on speakers at last and turn them
off immediately after the show.
Now you can turn ON the speaker and adjust the volume control to a proper level.
BEFORE CONNECTING
THE SPEAKER
A 35 mm socket for mounting the loudspeaker on a speaker stand is provided in the bottom
of the cabinet.
NX speakers MUST be suspended only with approved rigging hardware. In any case always
use at least 2 M10 threaded inserts on opposite sides of the cabinet.
WARNING
: Never suspend NX speakers by there handles. Handles are intended for
transportation, not for rigging.
NX Series active speakers are equipped with a complete system of protection circuits. Two
led on the amplifier back panel indicate the working status of the amplifier: the green led
indicate that the speaker is ON and the red led is on when the protection circuit is active.
The circuit is acting very gently on audio signal, controlling level and maintaining distortion
at acceptable level. If this led is ON for a long period is better to reduce immediately the
signal level from the mixer or from the speaker volume control.
