Page 16: Operating Temperature
6.10.1 ANALOG SIGNAL INPUT CONNECTION The two XLR-type input connectors on the rear of each NTS250, one female and one male, are designed for professional audio signal levels, nominally 0 dBu (= 0.775 V). Normally, use the female XLR as the signal input. Use the male XLR as a loop-thru output to connect the same signal input to additional NTS250s. -
Page 17: Network Configurations
Connect the USB port in the rear panel of the first NTS250 to a computer with the EAWPilot control program installed. Connect one of the U-Net ports on the rear panel of the first NTS250 to a U-Net port on the next NTS250. Continue daisy-chaining the remaining NTS250 U-Net ports until they are all connected. - Page 18 Connect one of the U-Net ports on the UX8800’s rear panel to a U-Net port on the NTS250. If there are more than one NTS250, connect the other U-Net port on the NTS250 to the next NTS250, and so on.

Page 19: Array Operation
HYPER-CARDIOD CARDIOD From this revolutionary fast set up optimized for the NTS250 the flexibility to perform pattern control from an array continues. Users can interface with the onboard processing of the NTS250 through EAW Pilot software and tailor the output pattern of multiple NTS250 subwoofers to match defined cancellation angles and a center frequency of cancellation. -

AC Loop connector. Connect no more than three NTS250s to the AC Loop connector of a single NTS250. If the circuit breaker should trip, the first NTS250 will continue to operate, but all the NTS250s connected via the AC Loop connector will stop working. Determine what caused the circuit breaker to trip and remedy the situation before resetting the circuit breaker. -

Page 22: Rigging Warnings
WARNING: When four (4) M10 threaded Permanent Installation (PI) suspension points are used the array Working Load Limit (WLL), Total Vertical Pull, is limited to ten (10) NTS250 Subwoofers. In order to obtain full WLL, all four (4) M10 threaded Permanent Installation (PI) suspension points must be vertically attached to the support structure, and the array must be suspended vertically. - Page 23 8.3.5 POLE MOUNTING Up to two (2) NTS250 subwoofers may be used as a base for pole-mountable loudspeakers. In this configuration a 35 mm/1.38 in diameter loudspeaker pole is inserted between the NTS250s pole cup and the pole cup of the loudspeaker. The pole may be a fixed length or height adjustable. In either case it must be rated to support the weight of the pole mounted loudspeaker.
