Very Important Note about using MA2.8S power amplifiers with W8LM /LMDs
MA2.8S amplifier output A carries both channels via an NL4 connector as follows:
Pins +1/-1 = Ch1
Pins +2/-2 = Ch2
This dual output/single connector scheme may be used to drive one group of bi-
amplified W8LM from one 2-ch power amplifier - via an NL4 cable directly from
MA2.8S o/p A to the W8LMs. Please make sure that you use Channel A for LF and
Channel B for HF.
For all passive applications we recommend using an NL2 connector from each power
amplifier output to each group of W8LM to avoid mispatching.

If you get no hf on an Active W8LM /LMD system check that:
All cabinets are switched to Active

Connectors should be kept in good, clean condition to ensure full, undistorted
loudspeaker performance. Worn, corroded or damaged pins and sockets can cause
severe distortion or loss of signal.
