WIRING MM-10XP LOUDSPEAKER CABLES
WITH BELDEN 1502 CABLE
When wiring MM-10XP loudspeaker cables with Belden
1502 or an equivalent cable, use the conventions in Table 3.
The red and black wires in the Belden 1502 cable have a
thicker gauge than the other three wires and should be used
for DC power. The blue, white, and shield wires are shielded
together and should be used for audio.
Both ends of the loudspeaker cable should be wired so that
the pins in the MM-10XP input connector align with those in
the MPS-488HP channel output connector (see “Channel
Inputs” on page 14).
Wiring EN3-to-Pigtail Cables
MM-10XPs equipped with EN3 connectors are shipped with
one 10-foot EN3 5-pin female-to-pigtail cable. The EN3 end
of the cable connects directly to the MM-10XP input con-
nector. The pigtail end of the cable can be equipped with
either an EN3 5-pin male connector for connecting to the
MPS-488HPe power supply, or a Phoenix 5-pin female con-
nector for connecting to the MPS-488HPp power supply.
The pigtail can also be spliced to a longer loudspeaker cable
or to a junction box. The included EN3-to-pigtail cable uses
a multiconductor cable, which can be wired for both DC
power and balanced audio. The EN3-to-pigtail cable is avail-
able in plenum or regular (non-plenum) versions.
NOTE: For a complete list of cables and cable
connectors available from Meyer Sound that
can be used with the MM-10XP subwoofer and
MPS-488HP power supply, see Appendix A, “MM-10
Accessories.”
