IMPORTANT!!!

The T5SA outputs (LINK) send out the same signal received on the inputs. If you use the sub-woofer together with the d400 or one of the TITANIUM series loudspeakers, the processor included in the satellites filters the low frequencies. If you use instead as satellites loudspeakers from other brands, not provided with a built-in processor, you need to filter the low frequencies using an external crossover.

5. Installation and connections

1. Installation (fig. 3)

T5SA is fitted with an adapter for the use of a telescopic loudspeaker stand for the installation of the satellite upon of the sub-woofer. In addition, four wheels are available on the rear panel in order to make the transport the easiest possible.

2. Connections

T5SA is fitted with two balanced LEFT and RIGHT inputs with XLR-F connector and two outputs with XLR- M connector to send the signal to the satellites or to other units. (fig. 3). According to the kind of configuration, 1 or 2 inputs can be used (fig. 4).

-MONO CONFIGURATION (fig. 4a): the sub-woofer receives the signal from one of the mixer outputs (LEFT or RIGHT), which is connected only to one of the inputs. The same signal is sent to the satellite (one or more) and the sub + satellite system plays only the LEFT or RIGHT part of the stereo program.

This is the most common configuration and, for what concerns LEM speakers, it is suggested for the use with the d400 and the models T4A, T5A, T6A, T4MA and T5MA of the TITANIUM series.

-STEREO CONFIGURATION (fig. 4b): the sub-woofer receives both the LEFT and RIGHT signals from the mixer’s outputs, which are connected to both the inputs. The two signals are sent to two satellites and the system made of one sub + two satellites plays the whole stereo program.

This configuration is suggested for the use of satellites with no more than 200/300W output power. For what concerns LEM speakers, it can be used with the T3A model as satellite (a dedicated PRESET is available in the sub-woofer). If you use loudspeakers from other brands, probably you would need to reduce the sub- woofer’s level in order to obtain the proper balance between sub and satellites.

The input level of the incoming signal can be set using the VOL control. If the control is rotated fully clockwise the nominal input sensitivity (+4dB) is selected. If needed, you can reduce the input gain turning the

control counterclockwise.

WARNING!!!

IN ORDER FOR THE MODULE TO WORK CORRECTLY, IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE AIR VENTS ALWAYS FREE AND ABLE TO PROVIDE A PROPER AIR CIRCULATION.

7. PRESETS

The PRESETS available in the T5SA have been prepared by LEM with the support of sound engineers and audio technicians in order to provide the sub-woofer with different acoustical and dynamic responses suitable for the use of different kind of satellites, for different applications and for different tastes. Each PRESET includes different crossover and eq filters suitable for an optimal coupling of the sub-woofer with the d400 and all the TITANIUM series models. In addition, 6 generic PRESETS with different crossover filters are available for the use of the sub-woofer with satellites from other brands.

For the PRESET’s choice we suggest you to follow the directions you can find below, but also to rely on the listening and on your personal evaluations.

In the fig. 6 at the end of this manual you can find the response diagrams of all the PRESETS included in the T5SA.

01.d400: for the use of the sub-woofer together with

the d400 loudspeaker system.

02.d400 HOUSE: derived from the previous one, includes the use of the MULTICOMP to enhance the frequencies below 60Hz. Suitable for the use with house or dance music in general.

03.2xT3A + 2xT5SA: to be used in a STEREO system made of two T3A loudspeakers as satellites and two T5SA as sub-woofers (see chapter 2. Connections and fig. 4a).
