3 Wiring and Settings

Cerberus has inputs made with connectors NL4 female. Through a dedicated cable and terminated with 2 male 
NL4Fc connectors it is connected directly to the output of the power amplifier. The connectors are standard NL4 

(+ 1 / -1 con 2 / -2 empty) or water proof on request.

In case of custom realization by the installer of the connection cables, we recommend specifying installation-gra-

de Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cables for permanent installations. The cables should use Oxygen Free 

Copper (OFC) of grade C11000 or above.

For distances of over 15 meters between Cerberus and amplifiers, we recommend increasing the section of the 
cable poles to 4 sq mm, to avoid excessive emission level losses. For lengths less than 15 m, you can use 2-pole 

cables, each with a section of 2.5 sq mm.
