7.2 Cables and plug configurations
When connecting a mixing desk to the X-Sub active, always make
sure the screened cable is intact. Unscreened cables may cause
problems relating to signal or hum interference. When connecting
the speakers to the X-Sub active, please use high-quality SPEAKON
cables. Check the condition of your cables on a regular basis.

7.1 Audio connections
Before connecting the X-Sub active to the mains power supply,
make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to that specified on
the operating panel (tolerance of +/- 10% is permitted). Always
plug in the mains cable before switching on the X-Sub active and
always switch off the X-Sub active before disconnecting it from the
mains power supply.
All other cables should be connected when the X-Sub active is
switched off and the mixing desk should be switched on before
the X-Sub active is switched on. This prevents annoying and often
dangerous switch-on noises.
