REAR PANEL FEATURES AND CONTROLS

1. PRESET SELECTOR This selector allows to select 3 different presets. By pressing the selector, the PRESET LEDS will indicate which preset is selected.
   LINEAR – this preset is recommended for all regular applications of the speaker.
   SPEAKERS – this preset creates the correct equalization for the use of two NXL 24-A or NXL 44-A coupled on a subwoofer or in suspended configuration.
   HIGH-PASS – this presets activates a 60Hz high-pass filter for the correct coupling of the NXL 24-A or NXL 44-A with subwoofers not provided with their own internal filter.

2. PRESET LEDS These LEDs indicate the selected preset.

3. FEMALE XLR/JACK COMBO INPUT This balanced input accepts a standard JACK or XLR male connector.

4. MALE XLR SIGNAL OUTPUT This XLR output connector provides a loop trough for speakers daisy chaining.

5. OVERLOAD/SIGNAL LEDS These LEDs indicate
   The SIGNAL LED lights green if there is a signal present on the main COMBO input.
   The OVERLOAD LED indicates an overload on the input signal. It is okay if the OVERLOAD LED blinks occasionally. If the LED blinks frequently or lights continuously, turn down the signal level avoiding distorted sound. Anyway, the amplifier has a built-in limiter circuit to prevent input clipping or overdriving the transducers.

6. VOLUME CONTROL Adjusts the master volume.
   WARNING! CAUTION! Loudspeaker connections should be only made by qualified and experienced personnel having the technical know-how or enough specific instructions (to ensure that connections are made correctly) in order to prevent any electrical danger.
   To prevent any risk of electric shock, do not connect loudspeakers when the amplifier is switched on.
   Before turning the system on, check all connections and make sure there are no accidental short circuits.
   The entire sound system shall be designed and installed in compliance with the current local laws and regulations regarding electrical systems.

CONNECTIONS

The connectors must be wired according to the standards specified by the AES (Audio Engineering Society).

BEFORE CONNECTING THE SPEAKER
On the rear panel you will find all the controls, signal and power inputs. At first verify the voltage label applied to the rear panel (115 Volt or 230 Volt). The label indicates the right voltage. If you read a wrong voltage on the label or if you can’t find the label at all, please call your vendor or authorized RCF SERVICE CENTRE before connecting the speaker. This fast check will avoid any damage.
In case of need of changing the voltage please call your vendor or authorized RCF SERVICE CENTRE. This operation requires the replacement of the fuse value and is reserved to an RCF SERVICE CENTRE.

BEFORE TURNING ON THE SPEAKER
You can now connect the power supply cable and the signal cable. Before turning on the speaker make sure the volume control is at the minimum level (even on the mixer output). It is important that the mixer is already ON before turning on the speaker. This will avoid damages to the speaker and noisy “bumps” due to turning on parts on the audio chain. It is a good practice to always turn on the speakers at last and turning them off immediately after their use. You can now turn ON the speaker and adjust the volume control to a proper level.

PROTECTIONS
This speaker is equipped with a complete system of protection circuits. The circuit is acting very gently on audio signal, controlling level and maintaining distortion at acceptable level.
