WL218-sw Controls and Connections

Input Connections

The WL218-sw input connectors are a pair of Neutrik NL4's wired in parallel. See Table 2 or the WL218-sw Input Plate for connector pinout.

Note pin numbers 2+ and 2- are wired straight through from one connector to the other. This accommodates using one input cable assembly (where appropriate) for sub- woofer and full range loudspeaker connec- tions. Additionally, pin numbers 1+ and 1- of both NL4s are wired in parallel.

The WL218-sw loudspeaker is not equipped with a crossover network. All signal pro- cessing must be done before connecting audio power to the loudspeaker.

Reconfiguring the Input Connections for Separate Transducer Connection

If separate transducer connection is required, the input plate may be removed and the wiring altered so that each transducer has a separate, dedicated connection. Or, the transducers can be connected in parallel on pins 1+, 1- or pins 2+, 2-.

If alterations to the wiring are made, ensure the input panel and connectors are clearly marked so the next user is aware of the mod- ification made.
