convenience. Use the pair with red lettering for the right channel and
white lettering for the left channel.
Connect the appropriate ends to the outputs of your Servo-Amplifier
Modules, and the input plate on the woofer towers. It does not matter
which connector is attached to which woofer as long as the left/right
channels and cable direction are correct. The most convenient
configuration would be to use a single 3-channel SBC horizontally on the
three outputs on each amplifier module, and to use this vertically on the
inputs at the woofer towers.
For interest and reference, the connectors are
numbered 1 thru 6 from left to right and top to
bottom: input number 1 being the top pair of
woofers, and input number 6 being the bottom pair
of woofers.
The connector used for the woofer towers is
similar to the PowerCon used for power
connections. This unique connector is a 50 amp
twist-lock Neutrik™ Speakon™. As with the
PowerCon, you align the pins, insert the connector,
and twist until you hear a click when the
connectors lock.
At the AMPLIFIER end of the servo-bass cable, you
will find a small grounding jack on a flying lead. The
other end is on the chassis of the servo-bass
amplifier labelled GND. These jacks are used for
grounding an internal shield within the servo-bass
cable. For the time being, leave this shield
disconnected. The shield ground should be used only when necessary
if external electro-magnetic interference encountered by the servo-bass
cable causes noise or hum in the woofers.
1.6 Servo-Bass Input Connection
A pair of Servo-Bass Interconnects will be provided to deliver the
musical signal to the Control Module. This is supplied with a pair of
banana plugs at one end, and an XLR balanced male plug at the
other end. The banana plugs will plug straight into the binding posts of
the G1.2 midrange/tweeter tower crossover box inputs in parallel with
your speaker cables.
This means that the Servo-Bass input is tapped off the output of your
power amplifier at the speaker end of your speaker cables. This
