Page 11: Native Mode
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION NATIVE MODE LEOPARD and 900-LFC loudspeakers are optimized for use in certain flown and groundstacked configurations without any array compensation or other signal processing. This capability, called Native mode, allows LEOPARD/900-LFC systems to be deployed quickly with excellent results, without equalization, tuning, or use of presets. - Page 12 LEOPARD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: For Native mode to work properly, the source signal must be correctly configured with the appropriate gain structure. CAUTION: Make sure that all cabling for looped loudspeakers is wired correctly (Pin 1 to Pin 1, Pin 2 to Pin 2, and so forth) to prevent the polarity from being reversed.
