  • Page 5: Connections

    Connections The E8 cabinet is fitted with a pair of EP5 connectors. All five pins of both connectors are wired in parallel. The E8 uses the pin assignments 1/2. Pins 3/4 and 5 are designated to active subwoofers, where pin 5 is used for SenseDrive (only available when using a D12 amplifier and 5- wire cabling).
  • Page 6: Operation With E-Pac

    Selecting E8 mode enables the E-PAC to drive up to two E8 loudspeakers. LO IMP mode configures the E-PAC to drive a maximum of four E8 loudspeakers with a 6 dB reduction in input level to the loudspeakers. For acoustic adjustment the functions CUT and HFA can be selected. The characteristics of the CUT and HFA settings are explained in the previous section "Operation with D6 or D12 - Controller settings".
