1.4 The Passive E 110 Sub 10"
Subwoofer
The passive E 110 Sub subwoofer is equipped
with the same high-performance 10" woofer as its
active sibling. The passive and active subwoofers'
enclosures are also identical, so they can easily be
combined to form one cohesive acoustical unit. The
integrated E-Connect coupler on the subwoofer's top
panel also serves to connect further modules (EP 1,
EA 600, and E 435).
You'll find a connector panel with two NL4 ports on
the back of the enclosure. Plug a two-wire speaker
cord equipped with NL4 port connectors into the
Input to connect the passive unit to an active
E 110 Sub A subwoofer or an EA 600 amp. The NL4
Through port routes the signal on to another passive
subwoofer or other mid/ high units (via the EF 45
base or EP 1 pole).

1.5 The EP 1 Pole with Integrated Bus

The EP 1 E-Connect pole lets you place one or
even several mid/ high units on the EF 45 base
or EA 600 amp. The pole is freely adjustable
up to a length of 1.60 meters, so you can set
the height as you see fit by engaging its twist-
lock fastener. No speaker cords are necessary
thanks to the integrated bus.
Caution: When adjusting the speaker pole, do
not turn the outer and inner pole more than
180° against each other – that is, more than
a half turn – to avoid damaging the cables
inside.

1.6 The EF45 Base with Integrated Bus

The EF 45 ELEMENTS
base accommodates
the pole, the power
amp module, and the
mid/ high unit. The NL4
ports on both sides serve to patch the audio signal in
and route it through to further speakers. If you place
an amp on its feet, you can connect another passive
subwoofer to its Speaker Out port. The NL4 ports
on the side panels also let you use a speaker cord to
connect mid/ high units mounted on further poles.
2 Setting Up and Connecting
the System
2.1 The ELEMENTS Mix-and-Match
System
You can combine the six ELEMENTS components
described herein without any further accessories to
configure many different systems. All you have to do
is make sure you connect enough amps and/or active
subwoofers to drive the number of speakers you wish
to connect.
The following diagrams show various options for
connecting speakers to the EA 600 amp and the
active E 110 Sub A subwoofer.
Examples for the EA 600 amp:
EA 600 E 435 E 435 E 435
or / oder
EA 600 E 110 Sub E 110 Sub
or / oder
EA 600 E 110 Sub
E 435 E 435
Examples for the E 110 Sub A:
E 110 Sub A E 110 Sub
or / oder
E 110 Sub A E 435 E 435
First mount the amp module onto the EF45 base;
then connect the E 435 speaker modules directly to
the amp or via the locking EP 1 pole. The same goes
for mounting mid/ high units on a pole attached to
the E 110 Sub A subwoofer. The bus is also integrated
in the EF 45 base, so cabling the system up requires
far less effort. Use short two-wire NL4 speaker cords
equipped with Speakon connectors to connect active
and passive modules, for example, an E 110 Sub A
and an E 110 Sub.
