APPENDIX B: PHOENIX AND EN3 CABLE ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: When wiring UP-4XP loudspeaker cables, it is extremely important that each pin be wired correctly.
Make sure the 48 V DC from the external power supply is wired directly (and only) to the 48 V DC pins on the
UP-4XP loudspeaker connector, and that the polarity is observed (negative to negative, positive to positive) to avoid
damage to the loudspeaker. In addition, make sure that audio pins are wired correctly; polarity reversals for audio sig-
nals affect system performance.

ASSEMBLING EN3-TO-EN3 LOUDSPEAKER CABLES

When connecting UP-4XP loudspeakers equipped with EN3 connectors to the MPS-488HPe power supply, you need an
EN3 5-pin female to EN3 5-pin male cable. The following procedure documents how to assemble this cable. If you are start-
ing with an EN3-to-pigtail cable, you can skip step 5 in this procedure.
NOTE: Cable mount connectors cannot connect to other cable mount connectors. Cable mount connectors
can only connect to panel mount connectors (like those on the UP-4XP and MPS-488HPe) or inline connec-
tors. To extend cables with EN3 connectors on both ends you can use an EN3 5-pin female-to-male cable coupler.
Assembled EN3-to-EN3 Cable
To assemble an EN3-to-EN3 loudspeaker cable:
1. Disassemble the EN3 5-pin male connector and feed one end of the cable through the boot, cable clamp housing, and
coupling ring.
