Step 3. Disconnect the junction connector of a lead

wire coming from the connector circuit
board. (Widen the lock tab to pull the
connector.)

Step 4. Connect the MT-S0601's two connectors to

the junction connectors disconnected in Step
3.

Step 5. Connect the speaker input cable to the

desired transformer lug to set the
impedance.

Step 6. Replace the top panel and retighten the 7

screws.

Step 7. Affix the impedance label supplied with the

MT-S0601 to over the FB-100's nameplate
as shown below to indicate the selected
transformer impedance.

8.1. Recommended Filters for the FB-100

• Because the FB-100's enclosure construction

is designed to create an acoustic band-pass
filter, the mid and high frequency audio
ranges are cut even if the input signal band is
not limited with a low-pass filter. Therefore,
the FB-100 functions as a sub-woofer with no
filtering.

• The speaker driving efficiency can be

increased by inserting a low-pass filter before
the power amplifier to cut out the mid and
high frequency components of the input
signal to the sub-woofer.

• The following filter settings are recommended when using a

digital signal processor for the FB-100's signal system:

High-pass filter (–12 dB/oct):

Cut-off frequency = 40 Hz, Q = 1.0

Low-pass filter (–12 dB/oct):

Cut-off frequency = 100 Hz, Q = 1.0
