means that even if your speaker cables exhibit phase or frequency
characteristics, the bass will follow the character of your speaker
cables.
If you change your speaker cables to use banana plugs instead of
spades, we will be able to convert your SBI to spade connectors for a
nominal charge.
The XLR connector contains a specially developed internal balancing
circuit that enables the power amplifier to drive the balanced input of
the servo amplifier. Because of the extremely high impedance
(100kOhms) of the balancing circuit, the parallel connection places
absolutely no stress on the power amplifier. Do not use any other
interconnect cable for this purpose as the high level output from your
power amplifier will blow the inputs of the Control Module!
This internal circuit allows even fully balanced power amplifiers
*
to be
connected this way. Plug the XLR end of the SBI into the appropriate
input (Left or Right) on the rear of the Control Module. The XLR end of
the SBI also has a green grounding clip on a flying lead. Leave this
clip disconnected to begin with.
1.7 Midrange/Tweeter Crossover Connections
The two external crossover boxes have one pair of inputs and three
pairs of output connectors each. They are (from
left to right as seen from the back of the
crossover box) front tweeters, midrange and rear
tweeters. The top pair of connectors are the
inputs and the bottom row are the outputs. These
high quality binding posts will accept either
banana plugs or spade connectors (but not bare
wire).
Connect your speaker cables from your power
amplifier to the top pair of connectors. The gold
nut is the positive (+ve) terminal, and the silver
nut is the (-ve) terminal. Then, insert the bananas
from the Servo-Bass Interconnect cables into the
same connectors. This will provide the signal to
*
Do NOT use this method of connection with some Class D power amplifiers that have
both +ve and –ve speaker outputs floating above ground. Some of these amplifiers have
as much as 36V on their speaker “ground”, and this will damage the Servo-Controlled
Bass Amplifier. Please contact Genesis or your dealer if you are unsure.
