Speakon™ Outputs

CMX amplifiers offer a choice of output connections, with two Neutrik NL4MD Speakon™ jacks and a Terminal Block connector.

The Speakon™ connector is designed specially for high-power speaker connections. It locks in place, prevents shock hazard, and assures the correct polarity.

The upper Speakon™ jack has both Channel 1 and Channel 2 outputs, so it is especially useful for Parallel, bi-amp, or Bridge Mono mode operation (see Bridge Mono mode operating precautions on page 7). The other Speakon™ carries only the output from Channel 2.

For easier insertion, use the newer-style NL4FC Speakon™ connectors with quick-lock thumb latches (Not shown).

Speaker Cabling

Larger wire sizes and shorter lengths minimize both loss of power and degradation of damping factor. Do not place speaker cables next to input wiring.

WARNING: To prevent electric shock, do not operate the amplifier with any of the conductor portion of the speaker wire exposed.
