1. Remove the back panel from one side of the enclosure by removing its 12 retaining screws.
2. Remove the amplifier module from the other side
of the enclosure by removing its 12 retaining screws.
3. Pass the amplifier module through the openings in
the enclosure and position it in place of the blank
panel. You may also disconnect the quick release
connector and move the amplifier outside the
enclosure, reconnecting it through the other opening.
4. NOTE: To keep the input and power cabling close
to the floor when in use, rotate the panel so that
the input connectors are adjacent to the rear
"spine" of the enclosure.
5. Refasten both the blank panel and amplifier
panels, securely tightening all screws.
5.3 Configuring Arrays
NT loudspeakers can be arrayed in various ways. However, arraying loudspeakers requires
special consideration for the overall array's mounting angle, projection pattern,
rigging/mounting method, and for system tuning adjustments. These issues can be
significantly more complex than when the loudspeakers are used singly. For assistance in
configuring NT arrays, contact EAW's Application Support Group.
5.3.1 Center of Gravity
It might seem intuitive that for the NT full-range models, the side of the enclosure with the
amplifier would be heavier. However, the center of gravity for all models is on the left to
right centerline. Thus, when suspending NT loudspeakers, there is no weight or balance
advantage to moving an amplifier module as described in Section 5.2.4.
5.3.2 Vertical Array
1. Orient the enclosures so the LF drivers are adjacent (i.e. enclosure bottom to bottom).
2. Use a 45° splay between the enclosure "bottoms".
3. Set the MODE switch for each loudspeaker to COUPLED.
5.3.3 Horizontal Array
NOTE: It may be desirable to move an amplifier module as described in section 5.2.4
so the enclosures are symmetrical left to right. This can facilitate running cabling and/or
help hide cabling from audience view.
Enclosures Vertical
1. NT26 and NT56: use a 60° splay between the enclosure sides.
2. NT29 and NT59: use a 90° splay between the enclosure sides.
3. To avoid interference with the input and ac mains connections, move the amplifier
module to the opposite side of one or both of the enclosures. See Section 5.2.4.
4. Set the MODE switch for each loudspeaker to COUPLED.
