NOTE: ln-lineXLR con nectors ofien have alermination
lug that connecisdirec{lyto the chassis of the connector.
Do not link this lug to
pin
1 at the amplifier's input as
it
will
defeat the amplifier's
input
grounding
scheme.
This lug is oflen referred to as a
"drain'
and is used to
provide
a termination to the chassis for shielding
purposes
when a floating signal
ground
is
required
between the source and destination, or when
disconnecting
the signalground is required to reduce
earth loop noise, ornoise induced
into signalgrounds
from stray magneticfields.
OutputWiring
When
wiring to
yourspeakers
always use the largest
gauge
wire
yourconnectorwill
accept. The longerthe
speaker lead the
grealerlhe
losseswillbe, resulting in
reduced
power
and less damping at the load. We
recommend using a heavy duty
two co re flex
(fou
r core
flex if bi-amping) 10 to 12
gauge
(2mm'?to2.5mm2or
50/0.25 orequivalent) as a minimum.
Binding
Post
Outputs
When terminating
to the 4 mm binding
post
(banana
jack)
output connectors, banana
plugs
or bare wires
can be used. The red terminalis
positive
andthe
black
terminal is negative
(ground).
lf running in BRIDGE mode,
only
lhe red binding
posts
are used.
channel
A
provides
the
positive
output to the load and channel B
provides
the
negative output to the load.

When using the NEUTRIK SPEAKoN
(NL4MP)
connector
for speaker output, use only the mating
NEUTRIK NL4FC in-line connector. This
connector is
designed so that both channels can be
fed from a
single connector.
Two SPEAKON connec{orsare
proMded
onthe amdifier.
The
"Channel
A" SPEAKON actually carries
both
channelA
& channelB outputs
(see
Figure 5:
Speakon
ConnectorVMring Diagrams).
The
"Channel
B' SPEAKON canies the
Channel B
output only.
Thisanangement allowsyou the option
of connecting
to
the outputs separately or together. Connecting
through a single connector
has the advantage of
minimising connections,
preserving phasing
and
simplified channel
allocation, which is
particularly
important
when bi-amping or in bridge mode.
IMPORTANT
Do not overload
your
amplifier by
connecting the
channel B oulput twice!
ChannelA is used
asthe
"dominant"
channeland when
sourcing
a dual output from Channel A the following
standard should be used:
ChannelA
=
Left orLow Frequencies.
channel B
=
Right or High Frequencies.
When in bridge mode:
Pin 1+
=
Bridge output Positive.
Pin 2+
=
Bridge
Output Negative.
