tweeters up to 10 feet apart. Next, position the woofer towers
behind, and just to the outside of the mid/tweeter panels.
Speaker Connections
Use the woofer cables that were found inside the woofer crates to
connect the woofer towers to the woofer amplifier. Each end of the
cable is clearly marked,
AMPLIFIER
or
SPEAKER
. It does not matter
which connector is attached to which woofer as long as the
channels are correct.
When you connect the woofer tower outputs pay close attention to
the way the connector works. This connector is a 50 amp Neutrik
Speakon. It only goes in one way, you cannot put it in wrong.
However, you can fail to put it in all the way. Push the plug in, and
twist it clockwise until the lock "clicks" in place to keep it there. By
looking carefully, it will be obvious to how it works.
At the
AMPLIFIER
end of the servo-bass cable, you will find a male 1/8”
mini-jack. The female end is at the end off a flying lead attached to the
chassis of the servo-bass amplifier. These jacks are used for
grounding an internal shield within the servo-bass cable. For the time
being, leave this grounding disconnected.
Next, connect the mid/tweeter panels to your
power amplifier using high quality loudspeaker
cables (not supplied) to the 5-way binding
posts. We recommend using good quality
spade connectors for this job.
To get the music signal to the
servo-bass amplifier to power the
woofers, there are two ways to connect it to your
system.
The first, and preferred way is to drive it using the
output of the power amplifier that is driving the
midrange/ tweeter panels using the supplied pair of
servo-bass interconnects.
These servo-bass interconnects will be supplied with
a pair of banana plugs at one end, and an XLR
balanced male plug at the amplifier end. The XLR
Neutrik connector includes a specially designed internal balancing
and attenuation circuit that enables the power amplifier to drive the
