How do I connect and power ADAMSON CS119 Compact Loudspeakers?

[AuroraMarie]

Connecting and powering your ADAMSON CS119 Compact Loudspeakers correctly is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Here's how, based on the user manual:

1. Grounding and Power: Always ensure proper grounding. Never lift the ground on the AC cable or use a ground-lifting adapter. The CS119 uses Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 20 A locking input and output connectors. The accepted voltage range is 100 V - 240 V AC. When linking AC power for additional CS-Series speakers, do not exceed the AC Input connector's current capacity.

2. Wiring Scheme: When wiring an AC cable for the CS119 in a single-line system, use the following scheme: Hot or Live (L): Brown, Neutral (N): Blue, and Protective Earth/Ground (E or PE): Green and Yellow.

3. Power Consumption: The CS119's current draw varies with the supplied voltage and dynamically changes with operating levels. Consult Table 1 in the user manual for single cabinet current draw values.

4. Idle and Standby: For extended idle periods, put your amplifiers in standby mode (requires Adamson CS software) to reduce cooling fan operation. Following these steps helps ensure your ADAMSON CS119 Compact Loudspeakers are properly connected and powered, maximizing their performance.
