- 1 x 6″ neodymium magnet woofer with 1.5” voice coil and fibre cone
- 1″ phenolic diaphragm neodymium magnet tweeter
- 8Ω and 16Ω available
CONNECTIONS
Connection description
A) SPEAKON: The S6P uses two NL4MP Speakon terminals and is duly prepared for
a perfect connection in a parallel system. Terminal Pins +1/-1 must be always
used, disregarding the +2/-2 which are not internally connected. Respect
always the polarity +/-.
Fig. 1. NITID passive connectors
- It is strongly recommended to use a two-conductor high-quality wire, non-shielded and two-coloured. We recommend using a minimum section of 4 mm2 for each conductor. Avoid long wire distances as they induce to important power and quality losses.
Configurations
Full-range stereo configuration
Connect each output of the amplifier LEFT/RIGHT to each cabinet using two
independent wires.
Fig. 2. Full-range stereo configuration
Full-Range parallel stereo configuration
Connect the amplifier’s output to the Speakon’s input of the first cabinet,
always respecting the polarity positive +1, negative -1. Then, make a bridge
from the first cabinet to the second one.
Full-range parallel stereo configuration
Passive configuration with subwoofer
There will be times when you will be interested in reinforcing your NITID
Systems with subwoofer units, in passive mode. In this case only one amplifier
will be used for the whole system. Connect one of the outputs of the amplifier
to the subwoofer through a wire. Then, make a bridge from the link Speakon
connector of the subwoofer to its respective mid-high top unit, always
respecting the correct polarity between both systems. Do the same with the
other channel. It is also correct, if the installation requires so, to make
the connection in the opposite way, that is, from the amplifier to the top
cabinet and then to the subwoofer.
Bi-amplified configuration with subwoofer
A wire with the maximum available section (4mm2 minimum) should link the low
frequencies output channel of the amplifier to one of the subwoofers. Two
subwoofers can be also connected by bridge one to another, as long as the
polarity is strictly respected. Connect the other output of the amplifier to
the Full-Range cabinets. It is also possible to use only one amplifier for the
low reinforcement, connecting each one of the subwoofers to the two outputs of
the amplifier and consequently, connecting the Full Range cabinets to a second
amplifier.
Fig. 5. Bi-amplified with subwoofer configuration (option 1)
Fig. 6. Bi-amplified with subwoofer configuration (option 2)
In order to allow a bridge connection between cabinets, each one of them has
been provided with two Speakon connectors that allow the Input / Output
function indistinctly. Terminal Pins +1/-1 must be always used, disregarding
the +2/-2 which are not internally connected.
MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT
For a proper installation of the acoustic cabinet systems, it is strongly recommended to carefully read the following advice.
Placement
When possible, cabinets should be located in a high position, slightly inclined to the audience. If the loudspeakers are located too low, the listeners at the end of the room will not hear a good sound quality.
Fig. 7. Flying placement
Use with subwoofer or tripod
The S6P is equipped with a 35 mm socket for mounting the speaker on a
subwoofer or tripod. Be careful not to use this system on non-flat surfaces as
it may become unstable.
Fig. 8. Use with subwoofer and tripod
Rotatable logo
All grille’s logo can be rotated.
Flying
Only experienced people should fly speaker cabinets. Extreme care should be
taken to ensure the load-bearing capabilities of the structures where the
cabinets will be placed. Hanging hardware (as chains, eyebolts, lock pins…)
should be regularly inspected and replaced if in doubt.
Vertical flying with HR bar
For the S6P, use HR-S or HR-S/GT flying bar for vertical flying. Refer to
“HR-S instructions manual” and “HR-S/GT instructions manual” for more
information.
Fig. 9. HR-S and HR-S/GT flying bar for S6P
Vertical flying with SP-6N
For the S6P, use the SP-6N bracket. Refer to the “SP-6N instructions manual”
for more information.
Fig. 10. SP-6N bracket for S6P
Vertical flying with SP-WHR
The SP-WHR is an optional accessory for mounting on wall (vertical
orientation) one unit of S6P. Refer to the “SP-WHR instructions manual” for
more information.
NITID GRILLE
To remove the front grille, first remove the screws on both the left and right
side. Insert two bent paper clips into the holes in the grille and carefully
pull it off.
