Midrange/Tweeter Connections

Next, connect the mid/tweeter panels to your power amplifier using a pair of high quality loudspeaker cables (not supplied) to the 5-way binding posts. We recommend using good quality spade connectors for this job.

There are two ways to get the music signal from your

system to the Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier to drive the woofers. The first, and preferred way is to drive it using the output of the power amplifier that is driving the midrange/ tweeter panels using the supplied pair of Servo-Bass Interconnects.

The Servo-Bass Interconnect will be supplied with a pair of banana plugs at one end, and an XLR balanced male plug at the other end. The banana plugs will plug straight into the binding posts of the G2 midrange/tweeter tower inputs when you are using speaker cables with spade connectors. If your speaker cables use banana plugs, we will be able to convert your SBI to spade connectors for a nominal charge.

The XLR connector contains a specially developed internal 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 inputs of the Control Module! This internal circuit also allows even fully balanced power amplifiers* to be connected this way.

*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.
