Speaker used.
- Using wrong pinouts may cause damage to the speakers or cause accidents.
The XY Series are supplied as standard with Neutrik SpeakON™ NL4 connectors, wired pin 1+/1– and
2+/2-.
Pin 2+/2- is used for mid-high drivers in the XY-3B, and in the other models used for only link-through.
It is recommended that the resistance of your cable be less than one tenth of the nominal system
impedance.
Given below are the recommended maximum cable lengths for different cross-sections and impedances.
