GEO M6 GENERAL SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS GEO M6 G ENERAL NSTRUCTIONS GEO M620 and GEO M6B connections GEO M620 and GEO M6B are connected with Speakon NL4FC plugs (not supplied). A wiring diagram is printed on the connection panel located on the back of each cabinet. The 4 pins of the Speakon sockets identified in / out are connected in parallel within the enclosure. -
Page 9: Cabling
GEO M6 GENERAL SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS Cabling NEXO recommends the exclusive use of multi-conductor cables to connect the system: the cable kit is compatible with all the cabinets, and there is no possible confusion between LF, MF and HF sections. Cable choice consists mainly of selecting cables of the correct sectional dimension (size) in relation to the load resistance and the cable length. -
