balancing circuit that enables the power amplifier to drive the balanced input of the servo amplifier. Because of the extremely high impedance of the balancing circuit, the parallel connection places absolutely no stress on the power amplifier. Do not use any other interconnect cable for this purpose as the high level output from your power amplifier will blow the input circuit of the Control Module! This internal circuit also allows even fully balanced power amplifiers* to be connected this way.

Plug the XLR end of the SBI into the Control Module and the banana plug end into the binding posts of your midrange/tweeter towers (preferred) or the output binding posts of your power amp. Each end of the SBI has a grounding alligator clip on a flying green lead. Leave this grounding clip disconnected for the time being. It is not necessary in most instances.

The alternative method of connecting the servo-bass amplifier to your system is to use a pair of balanced interconnects (not supplied) from your preamplifier to the servo-bass amplifier. Your preamplifier will need to have two sets of outputs, or you will need to use a high-quality Y-cable (not supplied). If you use this method of connection, your power amplifier will be driving the midrange/ tweeter towers and the servo-controlled bass amplifier will be driven in parallel by your preamp.

As no power amplifier is “straight wire with gain”, we do not recommend this way of driving your servo-bass amplifier. The reason is that coherence and good integration between the midrange and bass is much harder to achieve.

Servo-Bass Amplifier Remote

Your Genesis 2.2 servo-bass amplifier is supplied with a Logitech Harmony™ remote control. This is a universal remote control that can also be programmed to control the rest of your music system. While we do not provide customer support for the programmable functions (please check www.harmonyremote.com for that) we supply it pre-programmed with the correct codes to control the

*Do NOT use this method of connection with Class D power amplifiers that have both +ve and –ve speaker outputs floating above ground. Some of these amplifiers have as much as 36V on their speaker “ground”, and this will damage the Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier. Use the second method of connection.
