Breakout Cable Examples: 

The example below shows an array of 3x VTX S25 and a Vertec 4886 used as a front fill enclosure. The array is wired 

using the LK VTX-NL-844 breakout cable to a single Crown iTech 4x3500HD amplifier. In this configuration the breakout 

cable provides independent DSP for each speaker allowing for a cardioid configuration for the subwoofers and a sepa-

rate preset for the VT4886 front fill.  Multiples of this configuration can be used for larger system configurations.  

Another interesting use case for the LK VTX-NL-844 breakout cable (unrelated to subwoofers) is when used with the     

Vertec VT4886 line array system. The VT4886 is a 12-ohm passive line array element that can be driven and processed 

by Crown iTech HD amplifiers. Up to 4x VT4886 cabinets can be used on each amplifier channel and up to 16x cabinets 

per Crown iTech 4x3500HD amplifier. An entire array of 16x elements can be powered using a single NL-8 cable and the 

LK VTX-NL-844 breakout as illustrated in the example below.
