Connection examples
Connection to the mixer
• Always use only heavy gauge, high quality SHIELDED cables
(signal cables).
• Always make sure that the mixer, the subwoofer and any other
powered enclosure are switched off before connecting them.
This is to avoid annoying noises and signal peaks, which can also be
dangerous for the enclosures themselves.
If the mixer has XLR balanced outputs: use standard balanced
XLR connectors.
If the mixer has XLR unbalanced outputs: unless you are using a
Montarbo mixer, make sure that the XLR outputs on the mixer are
unbalanced to IEC 268 standard, 1 = GND, 2 = HOT, 3 = GND.
If the mixer has JACK balanced outputs (stereo jacks):
use stereo jack-XLR adapters, wired according to IEC 268 standard:
pin 1 = ground (sleeve), pin 2 = tip, pin 3 = ring.
If the mixer has JACK unbalanced outputs (mono jacks):
use suitable Jack-XLR male adapters wired according to IEC 268
standard: pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = tip, pin 3 = ground.

Note:
In our configuration examples we are using the L and R master
outputs of the mixer, but if they are not available (as, for example,
in a powered mixer) the insert sockets on main L/R outputs can
be used to the same purposes.
Take the output signal at the insert sockets by means of a stereo
jack plug, in which you have shorted the RING and the TIP contacts,
and send it to the inputs of the subwoofer by means of an XLR
(see picture).
