SP.7, SP10, and SP25 Loudspeaker cables with respective lengths of 0.7 m/2.3 ft, 10 m/32.8 ft,
and 25 m/82 ft. These cables allow connection of the SB18 enclosure to the LA4 amplified controller. Each cable is a 4-
conductor cable with 4 mm
The combination of the L-ACOUSTICS

The SB18 can be driven and powered by both L-ACOUSTICS
ensure intelligent protection, filtering, and equalization of the enclosures. Four channels of amplification are provided
along with the factory LA4 or LA8 PRESET LIBRARY [3.4], ensuring the optimization and performance of the
system within the limits of the recommended configurations.
Each full range system configuration should first be modeled and studied using L-ACOUSTICS
Software [3.4]. Software predictions are based on the preset parameters stored in the amplified controllers. Note:
The acoustic data are not available yet for subwoofers.
Up to 253 amplified controllers can be interconnected and monitored through the proprietary L-ACOUSTICS
L-NET Network using LA NETWORK MANAGER Software [3.4].
