Generally speaking, a distance of 0.5 m (1.5 ft) from magnetic data carriers (floppy disks, audio and video tapes, bank cards, etc.) is sufficient; a distance of more than 1 m (3 ft) may be necessary with computer and video monitors. MAX Manual (5.1 EN) Safety precautions - 1...
Connections The MAX cabinet is fitted with two EP5 connectors. All pins of both connectors are wired in parallel. Using one connector as the input, the second connector allows for direct connection to additional cabinets.
Operating modes 4-wire operation (standard wiring EP5 and NL4) The MAX cabinet is driven by a 4-wire cable to allow the choice of active or passive operation. The HF and LF drivers are each fed by their own pair of pins and separate passive crossovers. Pin assignments 1/2 of the EP5 connectors (NL4: 1+/1–) connect the LF driver, pins 3/4...
In Active mode the phase response of MAX cabinets is not compatible with C4 systems. Operation with D6 Up to a total of two MAX loudspeakers can be passively driven by each D6 amplifier channel. Operation with D12 The D12 allows the MAX cabinet to be driven either in "2-Way Active"...

AMP B SenseDrive Selecting the MAX setup mode for channel A and an applicable subwoofer for channel B allows a single D12 to drive two MAX and two D12 Input/Output routing Mix TOP/SUB active subwoofer cabinets. When the D12 is operated in "Mix TOP/SUB" mode, the MAX cabinet and a respective active subwoofer can be linked together locally and fed by a single 4-wire cable from either amplifier output connector.
For acoustic adjustment the settings CUT, HFA and CPL can be selected. Set to CUT, a high pass filter with a 130 Hz cut off frequency is inserted in the controller signal path. The MAX is now configured for use with d&b active subwoofers.
When the MAX cabinet is used without an active subwoofer, selecting LFC (Low Frequency Compensation) extends the low frequency response Controls on ampMAX module of the MAX cabinet down to 75 Hz. In active mode only the channel A LFC switch is functional. Active operation ("2-Way Active") 1–...
10 kHz. MAX isobar diagram Frequency response The diagrams below show the different response curves for MAX driven with the D12 amplifier. The response in standard mode with the Linear setup selected is equivalent to the operation with a linear power amplifier (SPL at a distance of 1 m (3.3 ft), output voltage 2.83 V).
