CDD‐LIVE
Connections
The rear panel is virtually identical on all models in the range and features all connections required in addition to the preset
selection button. Mins input is via a Neutrik PowerCon True1. There is a female 3‐pin XLR for analogue audio input with a parallel
connected male outlet to enable easy daisy‐chaining of an audio feed between cabinets. There are two Ethernet ports which
allow PC connection for both control using Martin Audio's View‐Net platform and for digital audio networking using Dante.
MAINS
The mains inlet is a Neutrik® PowerCon True1 socket and a mating connector is supplied with each CDD‐Live speaker. The True
1 is the latest version of Neutrik's PowerCon range and is a small, light, rugged, inexpensive latching mains connector rated for
use up to 240V at 16A. It is rated with a breaking capacity according to IEC60320 and VDE0625 meaning that it can be connected
and disconnected without first turning off the power feed. This has the advantage of being very convenient but also makes a
power switch unnecessary as it is easy to turn the speaker off by activating the latch and turning the connector anticlockwise
which will disconnect the power whilst leaving the plug in place in the socket so it can be quickly rotated clockwise to restore
the power connection when required
