M.A.R.S.™ A-114 SKU# 98114

SPECIAL ORDER- The M.A.R.S. A-114 is a Speakon amplifier distribution module for passive speaker array's.  The enclosure is stainless steel and is a 1/2 (19" 2RU) that attaches as a sidecar to other M.A.R.S. 2RU products like the P-2308 or P-2309.  There are also accessory hardware fittings that assist in rigging the unit behind speaker rigging or mounting in an overhead truss for distributed speaker array's or delay positions.  There are two (4) NL8 connectors on the back panel, each of which are parallel connected to a pair of NL4 connectors on either side.  One NL4 representing pins 1 & 2 (+ & -) and the other NL4 representing pins 3 & 4 (+ & -).  These connectors are then parallel connected to the front panel NL4's on the top and bottom row.  The NL8's on the right side of the front panel are parallel connected to 16 pins of the 19 Pin Female SOCA connector found adjacent on the Front Panel.  These 16 contact connections are parallel connected to only pins 1 & 2 (+ & -) of the NL4 connectors located on both front & Rear panels.  

For more detailed information we have provided a wiring schematic to help understand the product connectivity.

Note that the connections from Rear to Front panel are wired together using Anderson Power Pole connectors, making the connector array adaptable to alternative speaker wiring requirements.  

The SOCA connection is not intended to be used with standard Lighting SOCA Cable that have ground rings installed which would short out amplifier channels.  It is recommended that a dedicated Speaker SOCA Cable be used with this product.  There are many accessories like SOCA CUBE & CABLE CUBE Products that expand the speaker cable routing options See related recommended products below.

The names SOCA CUBE & CABLECUBE could have hyperlinks from the words to the web pages.

See Wiring Schematic attached.  I have a picture in my archives showing the internal wiring using the Anderson Power Pole connectors but I will have to dig it up.

Long term we should have a list of wiring diagrams and or pin-out diagrams for each product.  You will have to push me to get that accomplished.  So far you are doing a good job at that.  I am getting things like this description done whereas it has fallen through the cracks for several years.  As I keep saying, I need others that understand the products to help me with the Web content.  This is stretching me but I am appreciating seeing a more presentable product on the site,
