(Sleeve)–shield/ground.Werecommendusingbal-
ancedthree-conductorcables.Astereosignalshould
be connected to both the Channel 1 and Channel 2
input jacks for 2-channel (stereo) operation.
NOTE: Unbalancedtwo-conductor1/4”plugs
can also be inserted into these input Combo
connectors. But using unbalanced connectors
may increase noise and hum. See more

Pass filters. The HPF rolls off signals below 50Hz. This
improves the bass performance of most full range

speakerconemotion.EngagingtheHPFswitchwhen
using full range speakers makes more power avail-
able to the speaker’s rated frequency range, leading
to higher SPLs.
