SpeakON Connectors M Series products include four Neutrik SpeakON type STX series NL4 connectors (two on each side). All four NL4 connectors are wired in parallel and can be used interchangeably depending on the stage layout and desired cabling. M Series left side connectors M Series speaker connector plate M Series right side connectors Speaker cables and connectors M Series products require standard NL4 four conductor cables. The minimum recommended wire gauge for distances up to 25 meters is 2.5mm (13 AWG) and 4.0mm (11 AWG) for longer cable runs. Choose a cable that was designed for touring applications with the outer jacket made out of flexible and flame retardant PVC. 4 conductor NL4 cable Amplifier to speaker: 25 meters Speaker to speaker: 1 meter The Neutrik speakon STX Series connectors were specifically designed for heavy duty amplifier-loudspeaker applications like professional touring. They are durable and feature an all metal housing which makes them the recommended connectors for VTX Series loudspeakers. Page 7

Mode Selection Switch The VTX M20 and M22 feature a set of easily accessible selection switches. Dual-Channel (Bi-Amp) Mode Single-Channel (Passive) Mode Input A (Channel 1) Single-Channel (Passive) Mode Input B (Channel 2) The first switch is a Mode Selection switch that allows for selecting between Single-Channel (Passive) and Dual-Channel (Bi-Amp) operating modes. In Single-Channel (Passive) mode an internal crossover network is engaged that allows powering M Series monitors with a single amplifier/dsp channel reducing the amplifier channel requirements. In Dual-Channel (Bi-Amp) mode, two amplifier/dsp channels are used, one for the low frequency section and one for the high frequency section. Depending on the available amplifier channels, budget, or artists requirements a user can easily switch from one mode to the other. The second switch is a Channel Selection switch that it is only active when the Mode Selection switch is set to Single-Channel (Passive) mode. The channel selection switch allows for selecting which set of the NL4 Pins (Pin 1± or Pin 2±) are used for powering the monitor. Using this switch and Crown Audio I-Tech HD amplifiers, a user can select which amplifier channel is driving a set of monitors. When using 2-channel I-Tech HD amplifiers and CH-1 NL4 output on the amplifier, when the switch is set to Input A the a monitor is driven by Channel 1 and when the switch is set to Input B a monitor is driven by Channel 2. This configuration allows for one NL4 cable run from the amplifier to drive up to 4x VTX M Series monitors in two independent monitor mixes. When using the 4-Channel I-Tech 4x3500HD amplifier and the NL4 outputs, the switches can be used to select between Channels 1 or 2 for the first NL4 and Channels 3 or 4 for the second NL4 output. This allows for powering up to 8x VTX M Series monitors with one amplifier. A cover for the switch access panel is included and can be used to visually cover the switch panel for customers that choose not to frequently use this feature, or for fixed installations. Page 8

Mode Selection Switch Wiring Below is a wiring diagram showing how the Wiring Mode selection switch is connected to the M Series internal passive network and transducers. Page 9

Technology Highlight: Single-Channel (Passive) Mode One of the best features of M Series is the inclusion of a new Single-Channel (Passive) mode. In this mode, up to two M20 or M22 monitors can be powered with a single Crown Audio I-Tech HD amplifier channel without any performance penalties. Unlike typical passively driven monitors, M Series splits the speaker preset responsibilities into two sections. Part of the speaker preset is processed in the Crown I-Tech HD amplifier and part of the preset is performed internally in the speaker enclosure by a passive high-pass and a lowpass filter. The external DSP is responsible for frequency response correction, phase response linearizion and component protection. Crown I-Tech HD System Controller Amplifier Processing Speaker Processing Passive HPF IIR x-over System HPF IIR PEQ Low Freq. Correc on FIR Magnitude Correc on FIR Time correc on LevelMAX Protec on Amplifier Passive LPF The combination of internal and external processing duplicates Bi-Amplified speaker preset performance while using only one amplifier and DSP channel. The frequency response, phase response and maximum SPL capabilities of M Series are identical in both the Single-Channel and Dual-Channel modes.

Amplification and Processing Like all other VTX products, M Series is powered exclusively by Crown itech HD power amplifiers, providing optimum performance and consistency across the world. Standard V5 level presets are available for Single-Channel (Passive) and Dual-Channel (Bi-Amp) modes. The most up to date presets are distributed with the latest version of JBL s Performance Manager control software and are also available as standalone downloads at www.jblpro.com Crown Audio I-Tech 4x3500HD Crown Audio I-Tech HD The Crown I-Tech HD series amplifiers feature BSS Audio OMNIDRIVEHD processing for each amplifier channel, including the acclaimed LevelMAX Limiter Suite and support for complex phase FIR filters as used in the latest JBL V5 loudspeaker presets. All M Series processing is done using I-Tech HD internal processing and no other external DSP is required. Crown amplifiers include a user adjustable input section that can be used for additional equalization and adjustments if needed. The I-Tech 4x3500HD amplifier features four independent inputs (Analog, AES3 or CobraNet ) and are fully routable to any one of the 4 outputs. The four inputs allow the I-Tech 4x3500HD to drive up to four independent monitor mixes (in Single-Channel mode) reducing the number of amplifiers required.

Crown Audio I-Tech HD Output Wiring The 4-channel Crown Audio I-Tech 4x3500HD includes 2 x NL4 connectors and has Channels 1 & 2 bi-wired to the left NL4 and Channels 3 & 4 bi-wired to the right NL4. An NL8 output connector is also available that contains all 4 amplifier channels on Pins 1 ± through 4 ± respectively. Output connector wiring configurations are shown below: NL4 Wiring Pin 1 ± Channel 1 ± Pin 2 ± Channel 2 ± NL4 Wiring Pin 1 ± Channel 3 ± Pin 2 ± Channel 4 ± NL8 Wiring Pin 1 ± Channel 1 ± Pin 2 ± Channel 2 ± Pin 3 ± Channel 3 ± Pin 4 ± Channel 4 ± Both NL4 connectors can be used to power M Series products. For this specific application (stage monitoring) the NL8 connector is typically left unused. Since the NL4 connectors contain two amplifier channels, simple four-conductor NL4 cables can be used to connect the amplifiers to the speakers. A similar wiring scheme applies to the 2 Channel Crown I-Tech HD amplifiers however it is important to note that only the Channel 1 NL4 output is bi-wired.

Using M Series M Series V5 presets are optimized to generate a flat frequency response down to 150Hz with a small LF shelving response increase below 150Hz for added LF impact. Two preset variations are available for each product and configuration modes: Full-Range (FR): Full-Range (FR) presets allow M Series products to operate down to a safe low frequency limit that each monitor can reproduce. This set of presets can be used when a full range performance is desired (i.e. drum fill or bass monitor). With Subwoofers (80): The 80 preset introduces a high-pass filter at 80Hz and can be used when M Series is combined with supported VTX Subwoofers (VTX F18S or the VTX S25). In this case, M Series is responsible for the spectrum above 80Hz and the added subwoofer contributes to frequencies below 80Hz and down to 30Hz. The 80 presets can also be used in situations where no subwoofers are present but reduced LF extension/energy is required such as vocal monitoring or when it is desirable to maximize A-weighted SPL output. Supported VTX Series Subwoofers When added low frequency extension is needed, M Series monitors can be used in conjunction with supported VTX Series subwoofers. Preset support is included for the dual 15 VTX S25 subwoofer enclosure and the single 18 VTX F18S. Preset time alignment is optimized for M Series products to be placed on top of the subwoofer enclosure as shown in the examples below. The orientation of the M Series monitors can be selected depending on the required throw distance. Short Throw Long Throw Each product (M20 and M22) can be used with either one of the subwoofer enclosures (see preset summary sheets for more information). Multiple subwoofers enclosures can be used to achieve the desired low to mid-hi frequency contour and target MAX SPL. Page 18

VTX M Series with Subwoofers VTX M20 with VTX F18S VTX M22 with VTX S25 The combination of M Series and subwoofers can also be used in stereo pairs. Applications for these configurations include stereo DJ monitoring systems, stereo drum monitoring and side fill systems for small stages. Page 19

Using Multiple Monitors M Series factory presets are optimized to generate a flat frequency response for single cabinet operation. When more than one M Series monitor is used, there will be an increase in low-frequency energy and in general, when combining M Series products in monitor arrays, high-frequency energy increases by 3dB every time the box quantity is doubled, while the low-frequency energy increases by 6dB. This is due to the directivity characteristics of relatively small loudspeaker systems. Products of this size and type tend to be directional at higher frequencies and relatively omni-directional at lower frequencies which affects the rate of coupling for the different parts of the frequency spectrum. In some cases this extra increase of low-frequency energy is desired and this is the reason why multiple monitors are used. In other cases a flatter frequency response is desired. When a flatter frequency response is the target, a shelving filter can be used to compensate for the extra low frequency coupling. The low frequency shelving filter can be implemented using the Input / User EQ section of Crown I-Tech HD amplifiers or an external processor or console prior to the I-Tech HD amplifier. The type and corner frequency of this filter remains the same for all configurations and M Series models and filter gain can be adjusted to achieve the desired frequency response. When using two M Series monitors placed closely together, a 6dB/Oct shelving filter can be used to compensate for the low frequency build up. The gain of this filter can range from 0dB to -3dB depending on the desired frequency target. 15 Low Frequency Coupling Filter 6dB/Oct Shelving Filter Freq: 500Hz Gain: 0 - -3dB 5 SPL (db) -5-15 -25 20 100 1000 10000 20000 Frequency (Hz) Page 20

Using Multiple Monitors When using four monitors closely placed together, the same 6dB/Oct 500Hz filter can be used with increased attenuation. In this configuration the gain of the filter can take values from 0dB to -6dB depending on the desired frequency target. 15 Low Frequency Coupling Filter 6dB/Oct Shelving Filter Freq: 500Hz Gain: 0 - -6dB 5 SPL (db) -5-15 -25 20 100 1000 10000 20000 Frequency (Hz) Page 21
