Controls and Connectors

@1 [SPEAKERS] jacks

These are speaker output jacks.
Speakon connectors : Speakon type cable plugs (Neutrik NL4) can be connected here.
Five-way binding post connectors : Bare wires or Y plugs can be connected here.
• The five-way binding post connectors and Speakon connectors are internally connected in parallel. If you’re using both
simultaneously, make sure that the speaker impedance of each connector is 4–16 ohms (8–32 ohms in Bridge mode).

@2 Digital input/output connectors (I/O card slot)

An AES-IO card is installed as standard, allowing AES/EBU digital audio signals to be input and output.
• [IN] connector : This is an XLR-3-31 type balanced input connector for inputting two-channel digital audio sig-
nals.
• [OUT] connector : This is an XLR-3-32 type balanced output connector for outputting two-channel audio signals
processed by the internal DSP.
• [THRU] connector : This is an XLR-3-32 type balanced output connector that outputs the unprocessed signal received
at the [IN] connector. Even if the power is turned off, this connector will output the input signal
without any change (page 44). However, internal settings will be switched when the power is
switched on/off, causing the output signal to be muted for an instant.
• If desired, you can remove the AES-IO card and install a separately sold MY card. For details on the types of MY card
that can be used and how to install them, refer to “Optional I/O cards” (page 9).
• The removed AES-IO card cannot be installed and used in other devices.
•You must use a 110 ohm digital cable to make AES/EBU connections.

@3 Analog input/output connectors

These connectors input and output analog audio signals.
• [IN] connector : These are XLR-3-31 type input connectors for inputting ana-
log audio signals. The pin polarity is shown at right (IEC
60268).
• In Parallel mode and Bridge mode, only the signal of
channel A is output from the speaker output connector
by default. The channel B signal is not sent from the
speaker output, but the audio signal processed by the
internal DSP can be output from the digital output con-
nector.
• [THRU] connector : This is an XLR-3-32 type balanced output connector
that outputs the unprocessed analog signal received from
the [IN] connector.
