This system adds a pair of subwoofers which are run in mono using a second amplifier. This configuration allows the use of a
dedicated high power amplifier for the subs to deliver the maximum output capability.
There are left and right connections from the mixer to the input of the DX0.5. Output Channels 1 and 3 on the DX0.5 connect to
inputs A and B on the amplifier for the full range cabinet using a pair of short XLR cables. A final XLR cable is connected from
output channel 5 on the DX0.5 to input A on the subwoofer amplifier. The link switch for channels A & B must be depressed on
this amplifier.
Speakon NL2 or NL4 cables go from the first amplifier output channels A & B to the left and right full range speakers, and Speakon
NL2 or NL4 speaker cables go from the subwoofer amplifier outputs A & B to the Subwoofer inputs.
You will also need to choose the best match of amplifier for the speakers, see the chapter on amplifier selection.
