Operation manual

Operation manual APL-output wiring

Introduction

The TW AUDiO SYSRACKS are designed for the operation of small to medium-sized sound

reinforcement systems and enable fast and ﬂexible cabling of several racks.

Each SYSRACK has four freely conﬁgurable ampliﬁer channels, which are realized either by

one four-channel power ampliﬁer or by two two-channel power ampliﬁers. Furthermore, each

rack also contains a APL connection panel, that provides either some or all of the ampliﬁer‘s

connectors and additional link sockets at the front of the SYSRACK.

This manual describes the output wiring of the SYSRACKS with the connection panels.

Starting with APL5, all connection panels follow a uniform standard using 4-pin spea-

kON® NL4 and 8-pin speakON® NL8 sockets.

The input routing may vary depending on the ampliﬁer platform and model used. For further

information on input cabling, please refer to the additional product product documentation or

contact the TW AUDiO support department.

Thank you for choosing a high-quality product “MADE IN GERMANY” from the brand

TW AUDiO.

cedures and hand over this assembly guide. If you require additional copies of this manual,

you can obtain them free of charge from TW AUDiO or download them from www.twaudio.de

Operation manual APL-output wiring

When moving (assembling, dismantling, maintaining) the APL connection panels, ensure suf-

ﬁcient space to prevent collisions with other objects.

Do not squeeze or twist the electrical cables of the APL connection panels during the instal-

lation! The respective national electrotechnical rules and regulations are applicable.

1. Safety | Intended use

The APL connection panels are developed for use in professional sound systems. The

connection panels may only be used by trained and qualiﬁed personnel.

This operation manual describes how to use the APL connection panels correctly. Any other

use shall be deemed improper and may result in damage or even injury.

Modiﬁcations or alterations to individual parts of the APL connection panels are not permit-

ted! Danger to life!

Before every operation, check the scope of delivery of the APL connection panels for its

completeness and ensure that all parts are in perfect condition.

The APL connection panels is designed both for indoor and outdoor use. Keep the devices

away from water!

The panels are not protected against dripping, spraying or splashing water, IP20.

The APL connection panels may only be used by trained and qualiﬁed personnel. Personnel

must check the APL connection panels for suitability before each use.

The APL connection panels must be taken out of operation immediately as soon as visible

damage to the parts can be seen.

Please adhere to the following safety instructions to avoid risks when using accessories.

Note the operating modes described in this operating manual. Other uses are not permis-

sible.

Damage caused by improper use is not covered by TWAMBO.

3. Commissioning

3.1 Loudspeaker connection

The loudspeakers in the TW AUDiO product portfolio have several 4-pin NL4 connection

sockets which are wired in parallel inside the speaker. Depending on the system conﬁguration,

all transmitted signals can be forwarded or received.

TW AUDiO‘s product portfolio includes single-channel passive tops and subwoofers that

require a dedicated ampliﬁer channel as well as two-channel (biamp) tops and subwoofers

that require two dedicated ampliﬁer channels.

Depending on the speaker type, the speaker drivers use the pin 1+/- (top) or 2+/- (sub) or both

pins of the four-wire NL4 connection.

The following table compares the internal speaker cabling of the different models.

CH Channel

FR Full range / Broadband / Entire playback spectrum

FS Front speaker, a forward-facing speaker in a cardioid configuration

GF Gradient front, a forward-facing speaker in a cardioid configuration

GR Gradient rear, a rear-facing speaker in a cardioid configuration

HF High frequency / high-frequency spectrum

LF Low frequency / low-frequency spectrum

RS Rear speaker, a rear-facing speaker in a cardioid configuration

SB Subwoofer

The following abbreviations are used in this document:

Passive Biamp

Top FR: Pin 1+/-

(Special case: T24N, C12, C15) HF: Pin 1+/- | LF: Pin 2+/-

Sub SB: Pin 2+/-

(Special case: B15, B10)

RS/GF: Pin 1+/- | FS/GF: Pin 2+/-

(Special case: BSX)

The channel designations RS and GR describe the same signal output. The same applies to

the channel designations FS and GF.

To improve readability, multiple designations has been omitted and only the channel designa-

tions GR and GF have been used.
