CHAPTER 2: MM-10XP SUBWOOFER

The MM-10XP is powered by an external 48 V DC power

supply, eliminating the need for wiring conduits while still

preserving the advantages of self-powered loudspeaker

systems. The unit's onboard amplifier and signal-processing

circuits were designed to store DC power and tolerate volt-

age drops, thereby accommodating light-gauge cables and

lengthy cable runs.

MM-10XP INPUT CONNECTOR

The MM-10XP subwoofer is available with either a Phoenix

5-pin male or SwitchCraft EN3 5-pin male connector for

receiving DC power and balanced audio. The EN3 connec-

tor is ideal for outdoor, all-weather use. The connector’s five

pins include two for DC power (negative and positive) and

three for balanced audio (shield, negative, and positive).

These pins are clearly labeled on the MM-10XP rear panel.

To function properly, the MM-10XP requires 48 V of DC

power.

Depending on the subwoofer’s connector, the MM-10XP

ships with either a single Phoenix cable connector or an

EN3-to-pigtail cable for constructing loudspeaker cables.

NOTE: The pin outputs for the MM-10XP EN3

connector is identical to that of the MM-4XP.

However, the MM-10XP EN3 connector has been

rotated to accommodate the unit’s internal connec-

tions.
