SDEC-5500
The SDEC-5500 can be used by itself with SDA amplifiers or in combination with a SDEC-
4500X. All of these products utilize the BLU-Link digital connection that carries all necessary
signals on a single CAT 5e cable.
The correct Synthesis Interconnect kit includes all the necessary connections for using the SDEC
in the Synthesis system. Please contact JBL Synthesis Technical Support at 888-691-4171 (USA
only) for more information.

with speakers designed to be used with an external crossover. Do not use the SDEC Digital
Equalizer for any speakers other than the recommended Synthesis speaker packages.
There are two pairs of outputs for side speakers. If you are only using one pair of side •
speakers, then you may leave the second pair of outputs with no connection. If you are
using a second pair of side speakers, then you should connect the pair closest to the front
speakers to Output 1 and the pair closest to the rear speakers to Output 2.
There are up to four subwoofer outputs. You should use them in pairs so that you either have •
