Input connections, which are balanced, are via combination XLR type sockets and TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) "stereo" jack sockets, wired as follows: Pin 1 / jack sleeve Pin 2 / jack tip Pin 3 / jack ring = = = Signal 0V Signal + (hot) Signal - (cold) If driving the M2 from an unbalanced source, mono jack plugs may be used. Under some conditions, this may result in a hum loop. If so, alternative connections, via an XLR type plug or a TRS jack should be used, wired as follows: Pin 1 / jack sleeve Pin 2 / jack tip Pin 3 / jack ring = = = Not connected Cable inner (signal) Cable screen (ground) M2 outputs are pseudo balanced on stereo jack sockets.

The ICT500 is capable of producing SPL's normally associated with larger enclosures and its high efficiency and superior dynamic performance ensures smooth natural reproduction. The ICT500 has been engineered to combine high level reproduction with a very wide bandwidth, accuracy and maximum intelligibility. To achieve extended bandwidth and high output capability from an enclosure only 55 litres in volume, the ICT500 features two forward facing 10" (250mm) drivers utilising patented Pro ICTTM (Inductively Coupled Transducer) technology plus two internally mounted long excursion high powered 10" (250mm) bass drivers uniquely aligned to extend the bass response below 45Hz.
