2.2. Connections
The cabinet is fitted with a pair of NL4 M connectors and a two

pole screw terminal block (ST). All four pins of both NL4 M

connectors are wired in parallel. The cabinet uses the pin

assignments 2+/2–. Pins 1+/1– are designated to full range

cabinets.

Cabinets with the weather resistant option (WR) are equipped with
a fixed input cable (PG type, H07-RN-F, 2 x 2.5 mm

d&b SenseDrive
The SenseDrive feature within D12 amplifiers enables electrical

compensation for the properties of the loudspeaker cable used.

SenseDrive requires an additional sense wire. SenseDrive is

therefore only available with EP5 connectors and 5-wire cabling

for applicable loudspeakers.

Note: When the D12 is operated in "Mix TOP/SUB mode",

the SenseDrive function is available on the output B connector

only.

In permanent installations SenseDrive can also be applied to

cabinets with NL4 connectors or fixed cable option (PG). The

connection of the negative signal wire (EP5 pin 4 of the respective

D12 output) to the SenseDrive wire (EP5 pin 5 of respective D12

output) is made in a breakout box close to the loudspeaker

cabinet. For an uncompromising SenseDrive performance the

connection should be done not more than 3 m (10 ft) away from

the loudspeaker.

d&b LoadMatch
Starting with the D80 amplifier, the LoadMatch function enables

the amplifier to electrically compensate for the properties of the

loudspeaker cable used without the need for an additional sense

wire. For applicable loudspeakers, LoadMatch is therefore

independent of the connector type used.

Fixed cable connection
The Yi-SUB loudspeaker is supplied with a cover plate

[1] and a

rubber grommet feed through

[2]. For indoor operation, these

items can be used to hide the connector panel, if required. For

unprotected outdoor operation, the connector panel must be

covered, i.e. both items must be used to achieve an IP degree of

protection of IP34.
