6. CONNECTIONS

All connections have to be made or changed only if the speaker system is switched off!

6.1 Inputs

A good cable run improves the sound quality remarkably. Signal cables should be short and direct, since
high frequencies will mostly be absorbed if cables are unnecessarily long. Besides that a longer cable may
lead to humming and noise trouble. If long cable runs are unavoidable, you should use balanced cables. In
order to obtain highest sound quality, only use high-quality cables for connecting the devices. Make sure that
the cables are properly fixed.
As signal source for the subwoofer, audio units with line level (e.g. mixer or CD player) can be
1
connected to the inputs L/MONO IN and R IN via XLR or 6.3 mm plugs. Both jacks are designed for
balanced signals. However, it is also possible to connect sources with unbalanced signals.
A further unit with line level can be connected via 3.5 mm plug or an RCA cable to the input AUX IN.
2
A microphone can be connected via XLR or 6.3 mm plug at the input MIC, both balanced and

unbalanced.
