Operation manual APL-output wiring Some products offer a passive and a biamp operating mode, e.g. T24N, C12, C15, VERA10. To avoid damage, be sure to load the correct preset for the operating mode in use! NOTE The B10 and B15 loudspeakers have the option of an internal crossover to separate the high and low frequencies.

Operation manual APL-output wiring Cabling two-channel, passive loudspeaker (biamp) The loudspeaker requires two amplifier channels. The treble drivers of two-channel biamp tops are electrically connected to pin 1+/- and the bass or mid-range drivers to pin 2+/-. When using two-channel biamp tops, always ensure that you use the speakON® connector of one of the biamp outputs on the connection panel.

Operation manual APL-output wiring Cabling of one- and two-channel passive systems Two-channel passive systems consist of a single-channel passive top and single-channel sub- woofer on each side, driven by two dedicated amplifier channels. Therefore, four amplifier channels are required for the overall L/R system. As single-channel passive tops are electrically connected to pin 1+/-, it is recommended to load these presets into odd-numbered amplifier channels.

Operation manual APL-output wiring Single-channel passive systems consist of a top unit and a subwoofer whose frequency ran- ges are separated by an internal passive crossover, usually in the subwoofer. This means that two amplifier channels are required for the overall L/R system. Bi-amp 1+2 Bi-amp 3+4 1+/-...
Operation manual APL-output wiring Cabling two-channel subwoofer configuration When using a speaker configuration for directional subwoofer arrangements (cardioid sta- cks), two independent amplifier channels are required. The APL7 connection panels offer two options for cabling the configurations. Presets for rear-facing subwoofers in cardioid stacks are labeled GR in the system con- troller, and presets for front-facing subwoofers are labeled GF.

Operation manual APL-output wiring 5. Transport and Storage Ensure that the surface of the connection panels are not damaged during transport and storage. Moisture may penetrate where steel surfaces are exposed by scratches and result in corrosion. NOTE This is why the products should be transported in a safe, careful, dry and largely dust-free manner.
