CABLE SELECTING
Selecting a cable consists of calculating the correct cable section (size) in relation to
the load impedance and the required cable length. A small cable section will increase its
serial resistance, which will induce power-loss and response variations (damping factor).
The following table indicates, for 3 common sizes, a cable length with a maximum
serial resistance equal to 4% of the load impedance (damping factor = 25):

CONNECTION AND ELECTRIC DIAGRAM
The Las218 is connected through Neutrik® Speakon® NL8FC plugs (not supplied). A
wiring description is printed on the connections panels located on back of the cabinet.
