INPUT CONNECTORS
All ENTASYS 200 models provide
an industry-standard NL4-type
locking connector and a screw-type
barrier strip for connections to the
amplifier. Inputs are located on the
bottom of each model.
A bottom cover panel is provided to
seal the connector area from water
and foreign substances when using
the barrier strip terminals (Note: The
cover cannot be installed when an
NL4-type connector is mated). The
cover plate enhances the weather-
resistant properties of the enclosure
and is equipped with a knock-out
that fits 1/2-inch conduit, as well
as appropriately sized grommets
and gland-nuts for accommodating
large diameter cable. Please refer
to the ENTASYS 200 Installation/
Operation Manual for detailed
information.
USING ENTASYS 200
OUTDOORS
When using ENTASYS 200
loudspeakers outdoors, we
strongly recommend connecting
the amplifier to the barrier strip
input terminals and securing
the bottom cover panel. The
NL4-type input connector may be
used for short-term connections
outdoors, but is not recommended
for long-term outdoor usage.
Please refer to the ENTASYS 200
Installation / Operation Manual
for diagrams and additional
information about connections
to ENTASYS 200 products, and for
other guidelines that will make an
outdoor installation as durable
and long lasting as possible.
REQUIRED
HIGH PASS FILTER
The use of an external, active
high pass filter that is ‘in-circuit’
upstream of the power amplifier(s)
that drive ENTASYS 200
loudspeakers is always required.
The high pass filter will help to
protect the woofers from damage
due to excessive low frequency
excursion. It will also avoid wasting
amplifier power by not attempting
to reproduce frequencies that are
below the loudspeakers’ intended
operating range. Recommended
filter frequencies and filter slopes
for each ENTASYS 200 model are
available in the ENTASYS 200
Installation/Operation Manual.
Note: When multiple ENTASYS 200 column loudspeakers are to be powered by a single amplifier channel, amplifier output ratings
should be scaled upward appropriately. Please refer to the ENTASYS 200 Installation/Operation Manual for additional details.
