Mic In / Line In Combi-Jack
The balanced XLR microphone input part of the Combi-
jack can be used for either dynamic or condenser
microphones (it is phantom power enabled).
The 1/4-inch part of the Combi-jack is connected in
parallel with the Line level Combi-jack and can be used as
a Link out for parallel connection of multiple NX10Cs when
individual control on the enclosures is needed with an
individual input signal.
Line In
The balanced Combi-jack (XLR/1/4-inch TRS) input can be used
with any non-microphone line source such as an MP3 player,
a CD player or an electronic instrument with a line output.
It‘s always recommended to use balanced sources when
possible, this helps prevent the risk of hum or buzz associated
with unbalanced connections (especially if the cable is long or
the source is operated from a separate AC power connection).
Since the Mic In and the Line In each have their own input and
level controls, they can be used at the same time.
Link Out
The Link line output enables multiple NX10C enclosures to be
chained together using a single audio input source, the Link.
It should be connected to the Line In of the next NX10C in
the chain. The Line In level control on the subsequent unit in
the chain should be set to 0 dB in order to provide the same
output level as the master enclosure. When connecting
multiple NX10C enclosures, the last NX10C in the chain should
be powered off first (and powered on last). Each NX10C
should be powered on or off before the previous NX10C in the
chain. This will eliminate unwanted on/off noises.
Mic Gain Control
The microphone level control adjusts the mic level of the
loudspeaker. It also adjusts the mic level on all NX10C
enclosures in the chain (if multiple NX10C enclosures are
used).
EQ Control
This control affects all the sound coming out of a particular
NX10C enclosure. Turning the control counterclockwise
will increase the level of the bass and the treble together
in order to provide a hi-fi contour for playback sources.
Turning the control clockwise increases the high frequency
content. This ca come in handy when multiple NX10C’s are
arrayed together. Setting the control to the 12:00 position
will provide flat response. This control does not affect the
sound at the Mix Out. In a system with multiple cabinets it
will be necessary to adjust the EQ control on all individual
enclosures.
Clip LED
This LED illuminates red when the signal is too strong and
adjustment is needed to either the input's signal or the
input level control.
