Frequently Asked Questions - MAX 26-LA JBL
How do I connect the MAX 26-LA speaker to my amplifier?
Use a Neutrik Speakon cable. Connect pin 1+ to input positive and pin 1- to input negative, or use a speakON to 1/4-inch adapter if needed. Ensure amplifier power on before signal.
Can the MAX 26-LA be used as a regular PA speaker without line-array rigging?
Yes, it can be pole-mounted or placed on a speaker stand. It will work as a high-quality compact PA speaker, although it is optimized for line-array clusters.
What crossover frequency should I set if using a subwoofer?
Set the crossover between the MAX 26-LA and subwoofer around 80-100 Hz to match the speaker's low-frequency response.
What amplifier power is recommended for the MAX 26-LA?
We recommend an amplifier delivering 400 W at 8 ohms per speaker. Using less power can cause distortion at high levels, while much more power may damage the drivers.
How do I suspend the MAX 26-LA in a line array?
Attach suitable hardware to the M10 rigging points on the enclosure. Use properly rated shackles and ensure the static load rating for your configuration. Never suspend from the grille or handles.
Is this speaker suitable for outdoor events?
The MAX 26-LA is not weatherproof. Use a protective cover or shelter for outdoor use to avoid rain and direct moisture exposure.
How should I maintain the speaker grille?
Remove dust with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner set to low suction. For stubborn dirt, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Use no solvents.
Which Speakon cable wiring is required?
For a single speaker, use a 2-conductor speakON cable. Wire pin 1+ to the amplifier positive and pin 1- to the amplifier negative. The second pair (2+/2-) is unused for normal operation.
Can I connect two MAX 26-LA speakers to one amplifier channel?
Yes, if the amplifier is rated for 4-ohm operation. Since each speaker is 8 ohms, connecting two in parallel results in a 4-ohm load. Ensure the amplifier can deliver sufficient power at 4 ohms.
What SPL can I expect from a single MAX 26-LA?
The maximum peak output is 125 dB at 1 meter. Multiple units in an array provide higher directional control and combine to increase overall level at distance.
