3.4.2 Specification loudspeaker cables
The following cable cross-sections (mm²) must be used for loudspeaker loop, depending on the power and cable
length:
Power
100 W 200 W 300 W 400 W 500 W
Cable type: The loudspeakers can be connected using communications cable I-Y (St) Y n x 2
x 0.8 mm, for example. If a different, comparable cable type is used, please bear
in mind the output and cable length required.
Conversion: Cable cross-section
Cable diameter
0.5 mm²
0.8 mm
0.75 mm²
1.0 mm
Calculation aid: Loop fault-free
Max. 1 dB (=10 %) power loss
Loop with faults
Additional 2 dB power loss
Up to 1st speaker max. 150 m cable length; the further speakers are evenly
distributed.
3.4.3 Specification Loop Isolator Modul (LIM)
The maximum distance between two Loop Isolator Modules (LIM) in the ring depends on the selected cable cross-
section in Chapter 3.4.2. The distance can be configured for specific projects using the values in the following
table.
Cable cross-section Max. distance
2.5 mm² 165 m
2 mm² 130 m
1.5 mm² 100 m
1 mm ² 66 m
0.5 mm² 33 m
0.25 mm² 16.5 m
The factory recommendation is a configuration with 1.5
mm² ≙ max. distance 100 m.
