Additional Applications

While the primary configuration of the SMS1 System is the SMS1-SUB and four SMS1-SAT’s in a single setup, there are various ways to use the SMS1 Components. Note, however, that the SMS1-SAT’s should only be used in conjunction with the SMS1-SUB.

Driving Other Satellites. The SMS1-SUB can drive any loudspeakers that are rated at 8 Ohms or higher and which can be adequately powered from 10 Watts per speaker. Simply connect the speakers as described in the INSATLLATION AND HOOKUP sections of this manual, but be sure to set the Speaker EQ switch to the inward OFF position. You might have to experiment to see if it sounds better with the Crossover Switch on the Control Panel set to the inward 80Hz Position.

Augmenting A Full-Range System. The SMS1-SUB can be used to augment the bass coverage of any other system. Simply split the full-range source signal that is feeding the pre-existing system and connect it to the appropriate input of the SMS-SUB. If the Satellites from the full-range system are not SMS1-SAT’s be sure to set the Crossover Switch to the inward 80 Hz position.

The SMS1 components are very versatile and can be used in many different ways for different applications. Only a few applications are listed above, but the guidelines apply to all situations. Connect sources to the appropriate input, only connect one left and one right source, and drive only properly rated Satellites.

Of course be aware of and adhere to all local, regional, and national codes, regulations and guidelines for installation of equipment of this nature.
