“Output to Slave” Connector

If you are operating more than one Fathom subwoofer in one home theater system, you will designate one Fathom as the Master (see page 20), and then feed signal from it to the remaining “Slave” Fathoms via this balanced XLR output. The “Output to Slave” cable can be connected to the “Left or Mono” balanced XLR input on the next Fathom. When a Fathom is in “Slave” Mode, its “Output to Slave” connection can be used to pass signal to further Fathoms operating in “Slave” mode.

The “Output to Slave” connector is designed to be used as follows:

1)From the “Master” Fathom’s “Output to Slave” connector to the first “Slave” Fathom’s “Left or Mono” XLR balanced input.

2)From the first “Slave” Fathom’s “Output to Slave” connector to the second “Slave” Fathom’s “Left or Mono” XLR balanced input.

3)From the second “Slave” Fathom’s “Output to Slave” connector to the third “Slave” Fathom’s “Left or Mono” XLR balanced input. Etc, etc. (up to ten Fathoms may be connected in this configuration).Appropriate balanced cables with XLR terminations are available from your JL Audio dealer and are not included with the Fathom.

Technical Notes:

The “Output to Slave” signal carries any signal processing selected on the Master Fathom (including the Master Level setting and A.R.O. processing) to further Fathoms operating in “Slave” mode.

From Fathoms operating in “Slave” mode, the “Output to Slave” signal is an exact, buffered replica of the balanced input signal, making this method of signal distribution preferable to using

Y-adapters or splitters.

Use only shielded, connection cables with high quality

XLR connectors for Master/Slave connection. Never use unbalanced cables with adaptors.

IEC-Style AC Connector

The IEC-style AC cord receptacle receives the heavy-gauge, 6 ft. (1.8 m) long, power cord included with your Fathom subwoofer. Your Fathom should only be powered from a 120 V AC, 60 Hz outlet. Do not use any AC power cord other than the one supplied with the Fathom.

The Fathom subwoofer is a very powerful device and can draw a lot of current. If too many components are connected with a Fathom subwoofer to one electrical outlet, you risk tripping a household circuit breaker during very demanding program material. If this happens, split the Fathom and other components between two AC electrical circuits. If possible, for maximum performance, dedicate an AC circuit to each Fathom.
