5.3 Stereo operation with a subwoofer

Using a crossover, the main output signal of a mixing console is split into a stereo signal and a mono signal. The mono signal covers the lower frequency range and the stereo signal covers all other frequency ranges. Then, the stereo signal is connected to a stereo power amplifier. A B212/B215 is connected to each of the amp outputs. The mono subwoofer signal is connected to one channel of an additional power amplifier, which powers one E1800X subwoofer.

6. INSTALLATION

The EUROLIVE B212/B215 features professional speaker connectors (compatible to Neutrik® Speakon®) that assure problem-free operation. The Speakon® connector was developed for loudspeakers with high power ratings. If it is connected into the corresponding plug, it locks into place and cannot accidentally be disconnected. It protects against electric shock and assures correct polarity. Each of the plugs only carries the assigned individual signal.

Please only use the commercially available Speakon® cables to connect your loudspeakers to the power amp. Verify the pin assignment of your loudspeakers and cables depending on the loudspeaker output you are using.
