Rear Panel

The rear panel features a single input jack for connecting the amplifier to the cabinet. It is crucial to match the speaker impedance to or exceed the amplifier's recommended output impedance. For example, if the amplifier is rated for 4 Ohm speakers, use a cabinet with a 4 Ohm or higher impedance.

Connections

Internal connections show the wiring of the drivers within the cabinets. The LF212 uses two drivers wired in parallel, and the LF412 uses four drivers wired in parallel.
