PAGE 58 / 80 NXAMPMK2 USER MANUAL
This means that SPK4 and SPK8 are always connected (hardwired) in parallel. In most of the cases, only
one of these plugs will be used at a time, but this parallel wiring can be useful to carry two SPK4 outputs
over a SPK8 long cable for example (with breakout box at the other end) or to link several amplifiers together
(see further in this manual).
Of course, the routing from the amplifier output to these front panel connectors is done dynamically regarding
mk2.
DPU DISPLAYED INFORMATION
Two next speakON (one SPK4 and one SPK8) will share the same LCD display. In case of SPK4 output,
the displays will indicate some information regarding the following pinout:
Now if SPK8 output shall be used, the displays will indicate some information regarding the following pinout:
Of course, the same rules apply to the next set of front panel connectors.
There are three kinds of information displayed alternatively on the DPU screens. But the speakON to use is
always indicated clearly with arrows next to the plug in use.
(1) Speaker Name
The speaker name is indicated next to each plug to be used. For example, bellow for a set of PS15R2.
You will notice that the second line of the display is used, meaning that the output is on the 2+/2- pair of
each speakON 4 connector. Note the arrow to each SPK4 connector.
For an Alpha setup, using speakON 8 connector:
The S2 and the B1-15 have an arrow to each side (one to the SPK8, the other one to the SPK4) because
you can either use a SPK4 to connect directly the S2 and the B1-15 or you can use a SPK8 to a M3 cabinet,
from which you will link a S2 or B1-15 using a SPK4.
