Balanced XLR Connectors
There is also a male XLR connector labeled LOOP
OUT. This is also wired according to the above AES
standard.
The LOOP OUT connector allows you to connect
more than one SA1532z to your system. Simply plug the
signal source (i.e., mixer output) into the first MAIN
INPUT jack, and patch that speaker’s LOOP OUT jack
to the next MAIN INPUT jack, and so on, daisy-chaining
multiple speakers.

The SA1532z has one female XLR input that accepts
a balanced line-level signal. When connecting a balanced
signal, be sure it’s wired per AES (Audio Engineering
Society) standards:
XLR
Hot (+) Pin 2
Cold (–) Pin 3
Shield (Ground) Pin 1
The LOOP OUT jack is wired straight from the MAIN
INPUT connector — there is no electronic circuitry
between — so the signal coming out of the LOOP OUT
jack is exactly the same as the signal going in.

The SA1532z speaker is designed to sit on the floor or
stage.
WARNING: The cabinet has no rig-
ging points and is not suitable for rig-
ging.
NEVER attempt to suspend the
SA1532z by its handles. The SA1532z
should never be pole-mounted.
You can create a horizontal array by placing the cabi-
nets side-by-side. However, you should have a good un-
derstanding of the relationship between the splay angle
(the angle between the facing sides of the cabinets),
the on-axis power, and frequency cancellation effects
between cabinets.
When two cabinets are placed side-by-side, the actual
splay angle is 20º (determined by a 10º angle on each
cabinet side). As the splay angle increases toward the
angle of horizontal coverage (90º for the SA1532z), the
on-axis power decreases, but the frequency response
becomes smoother as the comb-filtering effects (caused
by the interaction in the area of double-coverage)
decrease.
As with any powered components,
protect them from moisture. If you
are setting them up outdoors, make
sure they are under cover if you
expect rain.
