=== '''Power Amplifier/Speaker connections''' ===

If you have power amplifiers with RCA/Phono terminations, we suggest you use the following setup..<br>
ONLY use ALL XLR connections or ALL Phono/RCA connections to the power amplifiers. (The Klimax 350 and Komri internal amplifier is an XLR connection, you CAN use RCA/Phono '''or''' XLR amplifiers with these speakers configurations)
<br><br>
 Note: In the standard and Katalyst Exaktboxes PIN1-screen on the XLR connection is unused. But on the Organik ExaktBoxes <u>PIN1 IS</u> used
<br><br>
The recommended wiring from XLR to RCA for the Organik Exaktbox is shown below.

<BR>
'''DOUBLE CHECK the wiring from the Exaktbox to power amplifier to speaker terminals!'''<br>
If there are any mis-wires or wrong speaker definitions in the Exaktbox, you may blow the speaker drive units, so take care.

If this is the first connection, use the standard Active test scenario. 
# Switch off ALL power amplifiers. 
# Disconnect any power amplifier to speakers connections
# Set to a low-volume value, e.g 40-50
# Do the following tests 5,6,7,8 starting with the Bass connections, then Midrange, then tweeter and finally super tweeter in that order.
# Connect the respective (Bass or Mid or tweeter or super-tweeter) power amplifier connection to the Bass connection (Bass or Mid or tweeter or super-tweeter) of the speaker.
# Switch on the respective amplifier and play some Music. Check that you are only getting (Bass or Mid or tweeter or super-tweeter) audio from that speaker drive unit.
# Stop the Music playing.
# Leave this cable connected, go to Step4 and connect the next speaker drive unit in the list.
'''If you change speaker or variant, this may also change the Exaktbox terminations, so DOUBLE CHECK'''

=== '''Installation''' ===
Please read the following carefully '''before''' installing the unit in your system – your unit may need to be reconfigured by your Linn retailer.
