4.Connect the audio/video cables between your SMS-1 (EQ OUTPUT VIDEO/LEFT/RIGHT – yellow, white, and red respectively) and your electronics (receiver, processor, TV, etc.). Insert the color-coded cable plugs into the correct EQ OUTPUT receptacle – the yellow plug into the VIDEO jack, the white plug into the LEFT jack, and the red plug into the RIGHT jack. The opposite ends of the cables should be connected to your receiver/processor. The yellow VIDEO cable goes to an available composite video input (e.g. aux), and the white/red AUDIO (L&R) cables go to a corresponding audio input. As an alternative to composite video, you may want to use S-video (S-video connector not included). Connect the S-video from the SMS-1 to an S-video compatible input on either your processor or TV. Consult your receiver/processor and/or TV owner’s manual for more information.
5.Connect your subwoofer(s) to the SMS-1 using the XLR connector or LFE out RCA connector.
6.Defeat the crossover on your subwoofer(s) (if possible) and set its volume to the middle setting.
NOTE: Make sure the audio output goes into your AUDIO system, not your TV! The SMS-1 will generate test tones used to match the SMS-1 to your satellites and to correct for room anomalies that need to be played by your main audio system.
7.Insert the XLR microphone cable’s 3-pin male plug into the MIC INPUT jack (location 7 on Figure 2) on the front or back panel of the SMS-1.
8.Slide the microphone (male connector end first) down through the open, circular sleeve of the tabletop microphone stand. Position this assembly at a desired listening position.
NOTE: The Digital Drive Accessory Kit includes a microphone stand adapter (1/2”-27 thread) for use with professional mounting stands. Be sure to first remove the inner thread piece (3/8”-16) before using.
9.Connect the XLR microphone cable’s female jack end with the male connector end of the microphone.
10.Sheath the microphone pickup with the foam windscreen cover as a protection against dirt and airborne contaminants.
A Wo r d About Inter connect Cables
When installing your new Velodyne SMS-1 using the line level connections, you should always use shielded phono cables. There are many quality cables available today, most any of which will work perfectly well. We do recommend that you keep the length of cable as short as possible to avoid any potential noise problems.
A Wor d About Connecting mor e than one SMS - 1
Note that your SMS-1 can control up to three subwoofers. Each of the three subwoofers will receive the same conditioned signal from the SMS-1. If you wish to run more then three subwoofers, or wish to individually customize the signal to different subwoofers, you will need more than one SMS-1 connected in a “daisy-chain” configuration. This section describes setup in a daisy-chain configuration.
