Procesador processor LX system The OUTPUT and LOOP THRU connectors are output XLR type connectors and are useful for daisy chaining the same signal to a number of boxes connecting them in parallel Mezclador Mixer The number of units that can be linked this way depends on the output impedance of the equipment driving the enclosure such as the mixer or processor Typically to avoid signal degradation the maximum number that can be daisy chained is given by the formula Zc gt 10Zs where Zc is the load impedance and Zs is the output impedance of the equipment driving the enclosure mixer console etc For instance a mixing console with 100 ohm output impedance allows daisy chaining 20 boxes when the input impedance of the cabinets is 20K ohm N 12 x aero 8A Mm Y y 6 LX 212A s MO Y z 4d J Center Subs 3 x eat Z Eee 3 NS d 3 IT 3 x 2 pa 1 J 3 Mo 3 x El _ zi 3 l 3 l 41 POWER POWER SUPPLY SUPPLY LINK LINK n n mn m m m
