General Amate Audio would like to thank you for your confidence in our NÍTID Series. We suggest you to carefully read the following instructions in order to obtain the best results in performance. 1.2. Features and presentation S6LP · Passive acoustic system · NL4MP Speakon input & parallel output · 200 W program power · Sensitivity 1 W / 1 m: 92 dB · 1 x 6" neodymium magnet woofer with 1.5" voice coil and fibre cone · 1" PEN diaphragm neodymium magnet compression driver · 70º (H) x 70º (V) dispersion horn · 8 and 16 available 2. CONNECTIONS 2.1. Connection description A) SPEAKON: The S6LP uses two NL4MP Speakon terminals and are duly prepared for a perfect connection in a parallel system. Terminal Pins +1/-1 must be always used, disregarding the +2/-2 which are not internally connected. Respect always the polarity +/-. A A Fig. 1. NÍTID passive connectors It is strongly recommended to use a two-conductor high quality wire, nonshielded and two-coloured. We recommend using a minimum section of 4 mm2 for each conductor. Avoid long wire distances as they induce to important power and quality losses. 2.2. Configurations 2.2.1. Full-range stereo configuration Connect each output of the amplifier LEFT/RIGHT to each cabinet using two independent wires. Fig. 2. Full-range stereo configuration 3 Amate Audio NITID S6LP 2.2.2. Full-Range parallel stereo configuration Connect the amplifier's output to the Speakon's input of the first cabinet, always respecting the polarity positive +1, negative -1. Then, make a bridge from the first cabinet to the second one. Apr 2024 Fig. 3. Full-range parallel stereo configuration 2.2.3. Passive configuration with subwoofer There will be times when you will be interested in reinforcing your NÍTID Systems with subwoofer units, in passive mode. In this case only one amplifier will be used for the whole system. Connect one of the outputs of the amplifier to the subwoofer through a wire. Then, make a bridge from the link Speakon connector of the subwoofer to its respective mid-high top unit, always respecting the correct polarity between both systems. Do the same with the other channel. It is also correct, if the installation requires so, to make the connection in the opposite way, that is, from the amplifier to the top cabinet and then to the subwoofer. Fig. 4. Passive configuration with subwoofer 4 Amate Audio NITID S6LP 2.2.4. Bi-Amplified configuration with subwoofer A wire with the maximum available section (4mm2 minimum) should link the low frequencies output channel of the amplifier to one of the subwoofers. Two subwoofers can be also connected by bridge one to another, as long as the polarity is strictly respected. Connect the other output of the amplifier to the Full-Range cabinets. It is also possible to use only one amplifier for the low reinforcement, connecting each one of the subwoofers to the two outputs of the amplifier and consequently, connecting the Full Range cabinets to a second amplifier. Apr 2024 Fig. 5. Bi-amplified with subwoofer configuration (option 1) Fig. 6. Bi-amplified with subwoofer configuration (option 2) In order to allow a bridge connection between cabinets, each one of them has been provided with two Speakon connectors that allow the Input / Output function indistinctly. Terminal Pins +1/-1 must be always used, disregarding the +2/-2 which are not internally connected. 5 Amate Audio NITID S6LP Apr 2024 3. MOUNTING AND PLACEMENT For a proper installation of the acoustic cabinet systems, it is strongly recommended to carefully read the following advices. 3.1. Placement When possible, cabinets should be located in a high position, slightly inclined to the audience. If the loudspeakers are located too low, the listeners at the end of the room will not hear a good sound quality. Fig. 7. Flying placement 3.2. Rotatable logo All grille's logo can be rotated. 3.3. Flying Only experienced people should fly speaker cabinets. Extreme care should be taken to assure the load bearing capabilities of the structures where the cabinets will be placed. Hanging hardware (as chains, eyebolts, lock pins...) should be regularly inspected and replaced if in doubt. 3.3.1. Vertical flying with HR-LU bar and HR-LU/GT For the S6LP, use HR-LU or HR- LU/GT flying bar for vertical flying. Refer to "HR-LU instructions manual" and "HR-LU/GT instructions manual" for more information. Fig. 8. HR-LU and HR-LU/GT flying bar for S6LP 3.3.2. Vertical flying with SP-6N For the S6LP, use SP-6N bracket. Refer to "SP-6N instructions manual" for more information. Fig. 9. SP-6N bracket for S6PL 6 Amate Audio NITID S6LP 3.3.3. Vertical flying with SPWHR The SP-WHR is an optional accessory for mounting on wall (vertical orientation) one unit of S6LP. Refer to "SP-WHR instructions manual" for more information. Fig. 10. SP-WHR bracket for S6PL 3.3.4. Vertical flying with RB-S bar and RB-S/GT For the S6LP, use the RB-S or RB-S/GT flying bar for vertical flying. Refer to "RB-S instructions manual" and "RB-S/GT instructions manual" for more information. Fig. 11. RB-S and RB-S/GT flying bar for S6LP Apr 2024 7 Amate Audio NITID S6LP Apr 2024 4.
