It has been designed to provide years of trouble-free, high performance operation. [. . . ] When the Channel 2 FR/HF output is used in this fashion, the + & - HF pins on the Channel 2 Sense Line connector must be shorted together!Whenever a pair of Sense Lines are not used, it is common practice to short them together to prevent their associated red LED warning lights from being "on" constantly. Highs Lows Power Amplifier Subwoofer Power Amplifier 2-Way Active Loudspeaker Figure 7 Typical wiring for a X24 used with 2-way active loudspeakers and a subwoofer. 8 X12 · X3-M1 · X24 OWNER'S MANUAL Plug-In Modules To insure the highest possible loudspeaker performance while still providing optimum protection for the loudspeaker, each Renkus-Heinz controller is specifically configured for a particular Renkus-Heinz loudspeaker model. This configuration is accomplished by three "plug-in" PC boards or modules used inside the controller. The combination of these three boards is unique for each loudspeaker model. Figure 4 shows the plug-in boards and their location on the main "mother" boards inside the controller. Crossover Board: The crossover board contains the active filters required for creating the crossover points. The filters are either 3rd or 4th order (18dB/octive or 24dB/octive) electronic filters. The corner frequency and filter order is selected to optimize the performance of the associated loudspeaker model. EQ/Delay Board: The EQ/Delay board provides up to 3 bands of parametric equalization per channel. If the sense line becomes disconnected, the controller will mute the output audio for the SUB/ LF channel. SUB/LF (Subwoofer / Low Frequency) Protect Indicator: This red LED will indicate the operation of the speaker protection circuitry. This LED will illuminate because of any one or combination of the following reasons: 1. Thermal protection activated. 11 X12 · X3-M1 · X24 OWNER'S MANUAL Rear Panel Features AC Receptacle / Fuse Holder: This receptacle accepts an IEC 320/CEE-22 AC power connector. A line cord with the appropriate matching connector is supplied with the controller. Before plugging in the AC power cord, make sure the AC voltage selector switch is set to the correct position. An incorrect setting of the AC voltage select switch may result in unit failure. The fuse can only be accessed by first unplugging the AC power cord from the AC receptacle. When the fuse drawer is opened, the innermost fuse is the active fuse, the outer fuse is a spare fuse. AC Voltage Selector Switch: This switch allows the controller to be configured for the appropriate AC line voltage. Use the 115VAC position for AC line voltages ranging from 100 to 120VAC. Use the 230VAC position for voltages ranging from 220 to 240VAC.

Input: This female XLR connector is the audio input to the controller. [. . . ] HIGH- and HIGH+ (High Frequency): Connects to the high frequency channel amplifier output. X3-M1 Sense Lines 13 X12 · X3-M1 · X24 OWNER'S MANUAL Set-Up Mounting Mounting: For most applications, mount the controller in the amplifier rack. This will allow short sense cables from the amplifier to the controller. This also reduces the possibility of ground loops between the controller and the amplifier. Allow at least one rack space between the top of the amplifier and the bottom of the controller. [. . . ]
