OUTPUT CONNECTIONS WHEN USED WITH A JBL SYNTHESIS SYSTEM
When used with a JBL Synthesis SDEC-3000, SDEC-4000 or SDEC-4500 Digital EQ/Speaker Processor the system should have been purchased with the
appropriate JBL Synthesis Interconnect Kit, such as S3000IC or S4500XLRIC (or similar). All the interconnect kits come with numbered XLR or RCA
interconnect cables. Use the below chart to connect the 7.1 audio output of the SDP-45 to the correct interconnect cable and input on the SDEC model.
All SDEC models use the same input configuration and numbering.
