To cable L-ACOUSTICS 2-way active enclosures with the LA8, three options are available:
Option A:
Connect a DO cable (DO.7, DO10 or DO25) to the PA-COM
split the audio signals into two channel pairs, CH(A) and CH(B), each one feeding one enclosure.
Option B:
Use an SP cable (SP5, SP10 or SP25) to connect one enclosure to one of the two SpeakON
Repeat with a second enclosure if needed.
Option C:
Connect a DO cable (DO.7, DO10 or DO25) to the PA-COM
split the audio signals into one channel pair, feeding one KARA enclosure, and two single channels, each one feeding one
SB subwoofer. This cabling scheme needs a dedicated custom preset.
Two additional KARA enclosures can be connected in parallel with each of the first ones, by using SP cables.
Maximum of 6 KARA enclosures per LA8
3 KARA enclosures can be connected in parallel to each pair of output channels on the LA8 (1/2 and 3/4).
