Networked mains power
iQ loudspeakers also facilitate networked transmission of mains power using power cables with
Neutrik powerCON locking power connectors. To set up networked mains power between iQ loudspeakers,
fi rst run a power cable terminating in a powerCON connector to the AC INPUT connector on the rear panel.
To power additional speakers downline, run power cables equipped with powerCON connectors at both
ends from the fi rst speaker’s AC LINK OUTPUT to the AC INPUT of the next iQ loudspeaker in series.
The maximum number of linked systems depends on the AC supply voltage as well as the maximum
current draw of the individual systems in the power chain. When linking a power chain, make sure that the
integrated connectors as well as the supplied AC mains cable are never overloaded. If you are uncertain
how to calculate the total current draw, please contact your dealer.
