Passive Non-Powered Models 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 MULTI-WAY CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS (non-powered models) Use 1/4" or Twist-Lock cables for connecting to the power amp and daisy chaining to additional speakers. For high powered and biamp applications, use Twist-Lock cables only. 1. 1/4" INPUT from power amp output (full range input only). 2. Twist-Lock INPUT from power amp (full range or biamp). Note: the Twist-Lock pin configuration for biamping is: 1+ LF Positive / 1- LF Negative, 2+ MF/HF Positive / 2- MF/HF Negative 3. Full Range/Biamp mode switch 4. Twist-Lock THROUGH wired in parallel with Twist-Lock INPUT. 5. 1/4" THROUGH wired in parallel with 1/4" INPUT. SUGGESTIONS FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE • To help control feedback and to correct for venue characteristics, use a graphic EQ. • For optimal coverage and dispersion, elevate the high frequency horns above eye level. • For optimal headroom, select an amplifier with a power capacity equal to or up to double the rated program power capacity of the loudspeaker system. • Ensure all amplifiers are supplied and connected to properly rated AC power circuits. Underpowering amplifiers may cause premature clipping distortion. SUBWOOFER CROSSOVER CONNECTIONS (non-powered models) 1. 1/4" INPUT from power amp output. 2. Twist-Lock INPUT from power amp.
