Step 4: Punchout any knockouts in the Wall Baffle you plan to use, or remove either of the plates from the wall baffle as necessary. Pull any loose wires or cords through the chosen path and place the baffle against the wall lined up with the predrilled holes. Screw the Wall Baffle into place.

Step 5: Make all connections, but do not turn on the Subwoofer.

-Connect the IEC Power Cord to the Electronic Module at the IEC Power Cord Jack.

-Plug the other end of the power cord into the grounded power socket.

-Connect the Satellite Wires. Using the INCLUDED removable Euroblock Connectors make connections for each of the four runs of speaker wire. Pay special attention to the polarity marked on the Connector Panel. Be consistent. Having Satellites out of polarity could result in poor sound. Most speaker cable has one of the leads marked for positive on the insulation jacket. If you are using SMS1-SAT’s be sure that the Speaker EQ Switch is in the ON (outward) position. If you are using any other speakers for satellites, the EQ switch should be in the OFF position.

-Connect the Paging Microphone and/or the Remote Wall plate, if you are using either of these. If the Microphone is a Condenser Type, you must engage the Phantom Power Switch. To do so, press the switch so that it is ON (inward).

-Connect the Audio Source

-If you are using an unbalanced stereo source (CD, DVD, VCR, etc.) connect to the Left and Right, Unbalanced RCA Jacks. NOTE: DO NOT run an unbalanced cable longer than 16 ft (5 m) into this input. Doing so will pick up noise and result in degraded fidelity.

-For a Balanced Stereo Audio Signal, connect (using the provided block connectors) to the Balanced Audio inputs.

-For a Speaker Level Signal (from an amplifier or Distribution line) connect (using the provided Euroblock connectors) to one of the pairs of Speaker Level inputs. The Low-Z speaker level input is usually best when using a low impedance (2 ohm, 4 ohm or 8 ohm) amplifier. The Distributed Line speaker level input is usually best when using a 70V or 100V distributed line amplifier. If you’re running into the Distributed line input and you find that you’re not getting enough volume, try switching to the Low-Z input. If you’re running into the Low-Z input and you’re getting too much gain, try switching to the Distributed Line input jack.
