Installation 4.1 Tips on handling speakers We recommend you to set up the speakers in a way, that the sound signals can reach the audi- ence unobstructedly. It will often be helpful to mount the speakers on tripods. Thus, the sound will be evenly spread with maximum range throughout the audience area.
Installation 4.2 Terminals for wiring ‘Bass to 1’ In order to use the terminals for wiring ‘Bass to 1’, turn the cover of the connector panel so that the notches are in horizontal position. 1, 2 NL4 terminals, wired in parallel (1+/1– to bass; 2+/ 2– looped-through) passive subwoofer...

Installation With this wiring option, you can connect the bass directly using a two-wire cable (wires 1+/1–). If you are using four-wire cables, you can use heads that receive their signal via wires 2+/ 2– and loop wires 1+/ 1– through. The bass is connected to wires 1+/1– and loops wires 2+/ 2– through.
Installation 4.3 Connecting to the Achat system In order to use the terminals for the Achat system wiring, turn the cover of the connector panel so that the notches are in vertical position. 3, 4 NL4 terminals, wired in parallel (2+/ 2– to bass; 1+/1– looped-through) passive subwoofer...

Installation These terminals allow for easy wiring with four-wire cables, as the heads get their signal via wires 1+/ 1– and loop wires 2+/ 2– through; the bass is connected to wires 2+/2– and loops wires 1+/ 1– through. The order in which the speakers are wired doesn't matter. Never fall below the minimum load impedance, though.
