CONNECTORS AND CONNECTIONS
• Normative
QB Series cabinets meet the following standards:
EN 55103-1:1996: Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audiovisual and
entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use (-1 Emmision).
EN 55103-1:1996: Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and
entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. (-2 Immunity)
EN 60065:2002: Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus. Safety requirements.
• Cable connection
In the following table you can see the maximum power of the cabinets and their nominal impedance.
Connector Connections per box Impedance Power
NL4MP ±1 2 16 Ohms 80 W
NL4MP ±1/ ±2 1 2 x 8 Ohms
• Connectors
The QB Series has a connection panel at the rear of the cabinet. This consists
of 2 internally bridged Neutrik NL4-MP connectors which apply no process
to the signal.
Note: If pins +-2 are not used they will still be internally bridged.
To power the cabinet use NL4 speakon connectors as shown in the following
diagram. Consult the ‘’Conection cable table’’ on previous page, under the
column ‘Speakon Connections’ to see which pins are used for each cabinet.
To connect the speakon follow the instructions in g. 1
Insert the male speakon in its corresponding hole and turn right until it clicks. This xes it safely and strongly and
helps stop it being pulled out by mistake. At the other end of the cable connect in the same way to the amplier
channel.

• Recommendations
Always ensure cables are in good condition. Know the recommended cable length and thickness according to
the cabinet and quantity you are installing. An incorrect connection can affect the functioning of the system
or even damage it. Cable thickness will vary according to cabinet impedance, quantity and distance. This is
especially important when connecting Sub-bass cabinets.
As a guide, please see the following table which outlines the thickness depending on the power and length
of cable.
CONNECTORS AND CONNECTIONS
Bear in mind Ohm ratings on the ampliers used to power the cabinets. For example 2 ohm amplier
congurations are not recommended due to the excessive power from the amp output.
Never connect more cabinets than recommended in parallel. With parallel connections, the total impedance
can be calculated by dividing the impedance of 1 cabinet by the number connected. E.g: 2 QB-8 cabinets in
parallel have an impedance of 4Ohm (8Ohm impedance - for 1 cabinet - divided by 2 – numbers of cabinets
connected).

RAINBOW 3D Acoustic Prediction Software
Lynx Pro Audio’s R&D department is working on Rainbow 3D, a new acoustic simulation software with dynamic
3D features. With a sophisticated design, Rainbow 3D stands out for its speed, being able to provide a simulation
in just a few seconds. It also provides algorithms for beam steering and optimizing the listening area.
• Designed from scratch by professionals
Rainbow 3D has been programmed from scratch by Lynx Pro Audio engineers, using new programming procedures
that achieve an effective simulation with really low calculation time.
• Multiple listening zones
The program can simulate all Lynx Pro Audio’s acoustic enclosures located in a 3D space, including the classic
side, top and front views. It can also dene multiple listening zones and allows offset positioning and symmetry.
Blueprint images, textures and PNG format pictures can be imported.
• Unlimited sound sources
Allows the acoustic simulation for an unlimited number of sound sources and audio systems. You can place as
many systems (subwoofers, line arrays, columns and individual boxes) as you desire. Also, the line arrays can be
placed in stack or own conguration.
• Beam steering
Rainbow 3D has the ability to add DSP processing to the simulation and uses algorithms to control the directivity
(beam steering) in columns, without the need to tilt them physically, being able to divide the column into several
beams that point to different zones.
• Accurate optimization thanks to FIR lters
Optimized algorithms are used in the listening area to improve the sound coverage and the frequency response. This
feature can be executed in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the export of FIR coefcients can be performed with
the optimization for later loading in the DSP via Ethernet or a USB device. In the near future direct communication
with Lynx Pro Audio and OCS will be available.
• Multiple measures and tools
Likewise, the R&D department is developing multiple measurement and analysis tools for the calculated data. For
example, the sound pressure curves (SPL) in the listening areas and the capture of virtual measurements that show
the frequency response in the points of location indicated and added. Among other tools you will nd autosplay
and a wizard to set up different subwoofer arragements.
