Audiosignalverbindung

Schließen Sie das Audiosignal am Lautsprecher an, BEVOR Sie den Lautsprecher an das Stromnetz anschließen.

WARNUNG: Stellen Sie das Ausgagssignal der Signalquelle (z.B. Masterregler eines Mischpultes) auf den kleinsten Wert, bevor Sie den NT Lautsprecher an das Stromnetz anschließen. Da dieses Signal zum Lautsprecher geschickt wird, könnten bei starkem Quellsignal extrem bzw. schädliche Asgangspegel von der Box produziert werden, wenn diese mit Netzstrom versorgt wird.

The audio input connection to the loudspeaker can be made to either the female INPUT or male LOOP connector on the rear of the loudspeaker. Normaly, the female connector is used for the input signal. Connect the output from your signal source (mixing console, microphone preamp, or other line-level source) to either XLR-3 connector. This is an electronically balanced input designed to be connected to a balanced signal source.

The Loop connector is hard-wired to the Input connector and thus carries the identical signal. This connector is used to "daisy-chain"the input signal to multiple NT loudspeakers and NT subwoofers. Because the signal processing, including the crossover, is built in, full-range loudspeakers and subwoofers may be daisy-chained together from a single signal source.

NOTE: To avoid potential interference, do not leave an un-terminated cable attached to either the Input or the Loop connector.

The electronic sensitivity and gain in all full-range NT models is fixed by design. There are no adjustable, input level controls. This means that whenever the loudspeaker is connected to the ac mains and provided with audio signal the output level is always controlled externally to the loudspeaker. This way, there is no question about a misadjusted level control on the loudspeaker. This also largely prevents overdriving the equipment directly upstream of the loudspeakers.

The sensitivity is designed to match with a wide range of professional line level audio equipment with nominal operating levels of 0 dBu (= 0.775 V). Consumer equipment has nominal operating levels of 8 dB to 10 dB below 0 dBu. If used with the latter equipment, it may not be possible to reach full output before clipping upstream equipment. In such cases, there are 3rd party devices available that can be inserted into the signal path to match the impedance and level between consumer and professional equipment.
