3.4 ഒരു കണക്റ്റുചെയ്യുന്നു Ampജീവപര്യന്തം

The ZX3-90B is a passive speaker and requires an external amplifier. Use high-quality speakON cables for connection. Ensure the amplifier's power output matches the speaker's power handling capabilities (600W continuous, 2400W peak) to prevent damage.

• സ്റ്റാൻഡേർഡ് കണക്ഷൻ: Connect the speakON cable from the amplifier's output to one of the speakON input connectors on the ZX3-90B.
• ബൈ-Amped Connection: രണ്ട്-amplification, separate amplifier channels are used for the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) drivers. Consult the speaker's wiring diagram (typically found on the input plate or in detailed technical specifications) for correct speakON pin assignments for LF and HF. This method requires an external crossover.
