4.0 INTERCONNECTIONS IN SYNTHESIS SYSTEMS

General information

A Synthesis One installation incorporates a total of four power amplifiers; two S800's and two S650A's. Eight of the ten channels on the S650A's are to be used for driving the HI frequency and LO frequency inputs on the left, center, and right speakers, as well as the two side ambient speakers. Please refer to the connection chart on the following page; you will find that there are two spare output channels on the S650A. If desired, these channels can be connected to the rear outputs on the surround processor for additional rear ambient speakers. They can also be used to drive additional speakers in other areas. The S800's are operated in bridged mode; each drives one subwoofer. Verify that the subwoofers are connected ONLY to the red terminals of the amp.

In bridged mode, speakers connect only to the "hot" (red) amplifier output connectors, and neither can be connected to ground under any circumstances, as damage to the S800 will result.
