3.1 Basic active speaker connection
For the basic active speaker connection,
please use mono XLR or RCA cables. In most
professional applications XLR will be the best
choice, while RCA is more common in HiFi
applications. Each one of the two loudspeakers
has to be connected to one channel of the
sound source.
3.2 The Stereo Link (A3X and A5X only)
If you wish to use the Stereo Link that allows adjustment of the volume of both
loudspeakers with a single master control, please proceed as follows:
a) First, connect Speaker 1 (that is supposed to control the overall volume) to your
preamplifier, sound source, etc. by using one stereo or two mono RCA leads. Please
note that the Stereo Link does not work with XLR.
When connecting your speakers via RCA please make sure the white (or black) RCA
plug which leads the left stereo channel is connected to the “Unbalanced In” and the
red RCA plug (that leads the right stereo channel) is connected to the “Stereo Link
Input” of the left speaker, if this is the master speaker you want to control the overall
volume with.
If the right speaker shall be the master please connect the red RCA plug (the right
stereo channel) to the “Unbalanced In” and the white (or black) RCA plug for the left
stereo channel to the “Stereo Link Input” of the right speaker.
b) Secondly, connect the “Stereo Link Output” of Speaker 1 to the “Unbalanced In” of
Speaker 2 by using the provided (or another) mono RCA cable.
Please note:
On the front side of the unit functioning as master, a corresponding white LED will
illuminate as soon as a mono RCA plug is connected to the Stereo Link output.
Unlike the common ‘master-slave-configuration’, any A3X or A5X that is connected accordingly
can function as either a master or a slave unit.
For an equal volume level of both speakers please make sure that the volume knob of speaker 2 is
snapped in the middle position.
