Cardioid configurations can be created using Crown Audio I-Tech 12000HD amplifiers. In this case, any one of the amplifier channels
can be set for cardioid using JBL Performance Manager software application. Up to two forward or two rear facing B18s can be used
per amplifier channel. When 4-conductor NL4 cables are used, the B18 channel selection switch can be used to select which cabinet is
driven by the cardioid channel. In the example below a 2:1 cardioid block of B18s is shown and powered by a single NL4 cable. In this
configuration, the front grille NL4 connectors are used for wiring the rear facing B18 subwoofers.
