Installation of the bass elements (E 110 Sub A / AS,
E 110 Sub, E 210 Sub AS, L Sub 1200)
When used individually, the bass element can be operated in either a
vertical and horizontal position. However, bass elements can only be
stacked in a horizontal position! No more than three bass elements
should be stacked horizontally on top of each other!

3 Control elements of the active
component
1 Mid/high fi lter with LED indicator
The mid/high filter is used to adjust the frequency response of the active
element electronics to the frequency response of the connected mid/
high element. This manual configuration is crucial, since the output
stage cannot automatically detect how many mid/high elements are
connected. However, when connecting a passive bass, no adaptation is
required.
Caution: The figures specified on the filter switch always apply to
the mid/high element E 435 (four tweeters). When using the mid/high
element E 835 (eight tweeters), this should always be counted as
two E 435s.

2 Sensitivity switch (except E 210 Sub AS)
This switch allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the input stage
to the output level control of your mixer. When using a professional
mixer with symmetrical outputs, the adaptation should be set to
+4 dB, which allows you to optimize use of the mixer faders and
avoid over-modulation. If a mixer with low output level control is used
(asymmetrical communication jack), select the –10 dB configuration.
The double-bass E 210 Sub AS does not include any adaptation switch,
since it is designed for professional applications with symmetrical
signals.
Important note: If the system includes multiple output stages (active
elements), for example in a stereo set-up, it is important to ensure
that the same sensitivity configuration is selected for all output
stages.
3 Bass Gain (only for E 110 Sub AS, E 210 Sub AS)
This knob adjusts the volume of the bass element but not the connected
mid/high elements. It can be configured within the range -12 to +6 dB,
and we recommend starting with the 0 dB setting.
4 Input
This combination socket can accommodate both XLR as well as jack
plugs. Connect symmetrical signals with an XLR microphone cable
or with stereo jack plugs to this socket. Asymmetrical signals can be
connected with a mono jack plug.
5 Through
Parallel XLR output to forward the input signal (input) to additional active
elements.
6 Limiter status LED
The two-color LED shows the status of the input signal.
Green = ready for operation
Red = Signal is over-amplified, whereupon the built-in RMS limiter is
triggered (to protect the electronics against over-amplification)
Caution: This device is not a clip LED. It is normal for the LED to
light up in red occasionally, since this simply shows that the RMS
limiter is operational. If the signal LED remains red during signal
peaks, check the output level control of the signal source and the
setting of the sensitivity switch.
The E 210 Sub AS includes a separate power LED, which lights up
green, if the power switch is set to ON and the power is turned on.

7 Speaker Out
Sub Out / Mid/High Out
The Speakon outputs on the E 110 Sub A and EA 600 are used to
connect the passive bass E 110 Sub and to forward signals to mid/high
elements via the optional accessory foot EF 45. For this purpose, use
the conventional Speakon NL4 cable (NL4 = four cores: 1+, 1-, 2+, 2-)
The basses with two output stages E 110 Sub AS and E 210 Sub AS
are equipped with separate outputs for passive basses and mid/high
elements. The Sub Out socket of the E 110 Sub AS can only be used
with the E 110 Sub, while the socket of the E 210 Sub AS may only be
used to connect a passive L Sub 1200.
Speakon cables are connected in a clockwise direction by pushing in
and turning the locking mechanism, turning counter-clockwise releases
the connection.
Caution: The mid/high output is parallel-connected to E-connect,
and may only be used when E-connect is not in operation.
Caution: If external devices are connected to the NL4 output, this
and the ELEMENTS components may be destroyed.
