PASSIVE SPEAKER
LD SAT42(W) / SAT242(W)
Up to 4 SAT42(W) (up to 2 SAT242(W) ) loudspeakers per power amp output can be connected in parallel on 4
ohms. At the rear connection terminal, the loudspeaker signal is simply looped through to the next SAT42(W)
(SAT242(W) ) speaker.
LD SAT62(W)
Up to 4 SAT62(W) loudspeakers per power amp output can be connected in parallel 4 ohms. At the rear connec-
tion terminal, the loudspeaker signal is simply looped through to the next SAT62(W) speaker.
LD SAT82(W)
2 pieces of SAT82(W) loudspeakers per power amp output can be connected in parallel 4 ohms. At the rear
connection terminal, the loudspeaker signal is simply looped through to the next SAT82.
LD SUB88 in connection with the LD SAT 42/242/62(W)
Connect the loudspeaker cables coming from the power amplifier to the subwoofer connection terminals labelled
Input A and B. Then connect the satellites SAT42/242(W) or SAT62(W) to the connection terminals labelled Output
A and B. Up to 4 SAT42(W) / SAT62(W) or up to 2 SAT242(W) satellites can be connected in this combination on
4 ohms. We recommend loudspeaker cables such as the Adam Hall KLS 215, with a cross-section of at least 2 x
1.5 mm².

LD SAT62A
MOUNTING / INSTALLATION
It is recommended to switch the system to ON as the last one and to OFF as the first one to prevent start-up
noise caused by a connected device like a mixer etc.. Additional connected LD SAT62A should be switched to ON
in order from the first to the last one and should be switched to OFF in reversed order. If the AUTO mode is used
the source should be turned to off only after 10 minutes without any signal to make sure, that the connected LD
SAT62A are in Standby mode.
CONNECTING AND OPERATING
To connect the LD SAT62A the device should be turned to OFF. There is a connection using 6.3 mm jacks (ba-
lanced triple pole / unbalanced two pole) possible as well as a balanced connection using triple pole XLR plugs.
After connecting all necessary cables and the MAIN LEVEL adjust is turned counterclockwise to left end stop the
source device can be turned to on. Then the LD SAT62A can be turned to ON too (see above). Please turn the
MAIN LEVEL adjust clockwise until designated level is reached. Please do so for additional LD SAT62A if used.
The Connection and operating elements of LD SAT62A are shown on the back panel active speakers page.
SIGNAL LOOPING
The LD SAT62A system is designed to loop the signal to additional devices via triple pole XLR cable. It is not
necessary to connect each device using an own connection to the source. Please make sure that XLR cables of a
good quality are used and that the cables are installed in safe way.

LD SUB88A
MOUNTING / INSTALLATION
The powered system LD SUB88A can be either installed on ground or on a solid base with adequate load capaci-
ty. It is strictly recommended to install the LD SUB88A not in a height above 150 cm (risk of drop down). The LD
SUB88A can be installed either in horizontal positon or upright.
Please check for enough distance (> 20 cm) between integrated amplifer and walls, racks etc. to prevent over-
heating for sure. Especially if installed in a shelf or inside a bar etc.. It is important to take care for an adequate
ventilation of the integrated amplifier. Please take care for a accurate wiring for the power wiring as for the input
wiring. Please use only undamaged cables of an adequate size as well as only completely unrolled cable reels.
Please check the wiring for any kind of trip hazard etc. to prevent any kind of accident or damage.
Please do not install the items directly beside an edge like the border of the base.

lanced triple pole / unbalanced two pole) possible as well as a balanced connection using triple pole XLR plugs.
After connecting all necessary cables and the MAIN LEVEL adjust is turned counterclockwise the source device
can be turned to on. Then the LD SUB88A can be turned to ON too. Please turn the MAIN LEVEL adjust clockwise
until designated level is reached. Using the SUB CROSSOVER adjust the frequency range can be limited to match
the LD SUB88 A with the used satellites. Also the PHASE switch can be used in combination with satellites if ne-
cessary. Please use switch position with the best sound. The Connection and operating elements of LD SUB88A
are shown on the back panel active speakers page. It is recommended to switch the system to ON as the last
