1. Safety precautions 1.1. Information regarding the use of loudspeakers Potential risk of personal injury Never stand in the immediate vicinity of loudspeakers driven at a high level. Professional loudspeaker systems are capable of causing a sound pressure level detrimental to human health. Seemingly non-critical sound levels (from approx.
2. 10A/10A-D loudspeaker 2.1. Product description The 10S, 10A and 10AL and their "D versions" are a family of high performance 2-way loudspeakers employing a single 10” driver in a bass-reflex enclosure and different HF sections for a wide range of installed sound applications.
2.2. Connections The cabinets are fitted with a pair of NL4 connectors and a two pole screw terminal block (ST). All four pins of both NL4 connectors are wired in parallel. The cabinets use the pin assignments 1+/1–. Pins 2+/2– are designated to active subwoofers.
NL4 connection with cover plate The two NL4 connector sockets of the cabinet's connector panel are located in a recess to allow the use of the cover plate [1] together with NL4 cable connectors, as shown in the graphic opposite. Note: Neutrik NL4FC type connectors must be used for this option.

HFA circuit In HFA mode (High Frequency Attenuation), the HF response of the system is rolled off. HFA provides a natural, balanced frequency response when a unit is placed close to listeners in near field or delay use. High Frequency Attenuation begins gradually at 1 kHz, dropping by approximately 3 dB at 10 kHz.
