APPENDIX B: ASSEMBLING LOUDSPEAKER CABLES

6. Solder the five exposed conductors to the five pins on the EN3 cord connector using the following wiring scheme.

7. Reassemble the EN3 5-pin female connector:

■ Align the coupling ring’s side notches with the cord connector’s side notches and slide the couple ring onto the cord

connector.

■ Carefully insert the end of the cable clamp housing into the cord connector until it locks into place. Snap the cable

clamps in the cable clamp housing into their compartments.

■ Slide the boot forward so it covers the cable clamp housing completely.

8. Verify the wiring polarity is correct for both cable ends.

ASSEMBLING EN3-TO-EN3 LOUDSPEAKER CABLES

When connecting loudspeakers equipped with EN3 connectors to the MPS-488HPe power supply, you need an EN3 5-pin

female to EN3 5-pin male cable. The following procedure documents how to assemble this cable. If you are starting with an

EN3-to-pigtail cable, you can skip step 5 in this procedure.

NOTE: Cable mount connectors cannot connect to other cable mount connectors. Cable mount connectors

can only connect to panel mount connectors (like those on the MPS-488HPe) or inline connectors. To extend

cables with EN3 connectors on both ends you can use an EN3 5-pin female-to-male cable coupler.
