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.

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.
