TH Series
System D‐ Using an IKON iK42 and SXH218
This system is similar to the previous system in that is uses a pair of THV (or THH) and a pair of subwoofers but this time using
the SXH218 Hybrid® loaded 2 x 18" sub for ultimate sub frequency reproduction and uses one of the Martin Audio IKON iK42
four channel amplifiers to drive the low frequency of the THV and the SXH218s for a neat solution avoiding having to add a third
amplifier. Channels 1 and 2 drive the LF of the THV and channel 3 and 4 drive the SXH218. A separate, smaller amplifier is
deployed to drive the HF which doesn't require the same power level as the LF and sub.
As with the previous system, there are left and right connections from the mixer to the input of the DX0.5 (or DX1.5, DX2). Output
Channels 3 and 6 on the DX0.5 connect to inputs A and B on the amplifier driving the THV high frequency using a pair of short
XLR cables. Four more XLR cables connect from outputs 1, 2, 4 & 5 on the DX0.5 to the inputs of the iK42.
Whilst we have used the DX0.5 this wouldn't strictly be required for the LF and Sub as the iK42 has on‐board DSP. Processing
would however be required for the feed to the amplifier driving the HF unless this also has on‐board DSP.
Speaker wiring as before uses a custom cable to combine the LF and HF feeds onto a single 4‐core cable (or a patch panel could
be used), this cable is fed to the THV. Separate standard NL4 cables go from outputs 1 and 2 to the SXH218s.
