Martin Audio W8L Longbow Application Manual page 93

Our standard W8L/Longbow presets configure the DX1 to produce these extra bands.
This requires 6 outputs; 1 x LF, 2 x MF, 3 x HF .
How do I patch my racks to take advantage of standard
W8L/ longbow controller presets?
Standard W8L or Longbow presets configure Martin Audio DX1 or XTA DP226
outputs for the following controller-to-amplifier patches:

DX1 controllers have fully balanced inputs and outputs and MA series amplifiers
operate with pin 2 hot. Racks will therefore be pin 2 hot – assuming that I/O panel- to-
DX1 input and DX1 output-to-MA series amplifier input cables are wired 1-to-1 (X),
2-to-2 (L), 3-to-3 (R).
Standard balanced & screened XLR cables (typical spec = 70 ohms/1000m, 150pF/m
core-core, 300pF/m core-core+screen) should be used between the panel and the DX1
input and between DX1 outputs and MA series amplifier inputs.
Good EMC practice requires that XLR cable screens should be connected at both ends.
W8L/Longbow loudspeaker pin-out and cabling information appears later
Please note that the D-Sub connector on the rear of the DX1 is for loading Martin
Audio control presets only. It does not facilitate PC equalizer control "on the fly".
