The pin assignments for this jack are given above. This pin assignment conforms to the standard adopted by the Audio Engineering Society. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the control amplifier and verify that its output jack is compatible with the pin assignments for this jack. The output jack of the AV controller PR-SC5508 is compatible with the pin assignments for the jack of the amplifier.

The power amplifier uses the European type XLR jack. Phase is reversed when an XLR cable is connected to the control amplifier that uses the USA type XLR jack. In this case, reverse the polarity of the speaker connection.

Plugging the XLR cable

Match the pins and insert the jack until you hear a “click.” Make sure that the jack is locked by lightly pulling the connection cable.

Unplugging the XLR cable
