Connecting the Speakers
Basic active speaker connection
For the basic active speaker connection, please use mono XLR or RCA cables.
In most professional applications XLR will be the best choice, while RCA is
more common in HiFi applications. Each one of the two loudspeakers has to
be connected to one channel of the sound source.
The Stereo Link
If you wish to use the Stereo Link that allows adjustment of the volume of
both loudspeakers with a single master control, please proceed as follows:
First, connect Speaker 1 (that is supposed to control the overall volume) to
your preamplifier, sound source, etc., using a stereo RCA (*
1
) cable.
Second, connect Speaker 2 to Speaker 1 via the Stereo Link output of Speaker
1 and the Analog Input of Speaker 2. Please use the provided (or another)
mono RCA cable.

Please note:
On the front side of the unit functioning as master, a
corresponding white LED will illuminate as soon as mono RCA is
connected to the Stereo Link output.
Unlike the common ‘master-slave-configuration’, any A5 that is connected
accordingly can function as either a master or a slave unit.
For an equal volume level of both speakers please make sure that the volume
knob of speaker 2 is snapped in the middle position.
