You are now ready to connect the electrostatic panel to the interface module via the three color coded pin-plugs. Naturally, black to black, green to green and red to red. The blue stat panel wire goes to the green pin-plug on the interface module.

Observing from the back of the interface module you will see five-way binding posts, screw terminals, soft-contour switches, and the AC input.

Proceed by plugging in the AC power cord, first at the interface module, then to the wall outlet. Then attach to your high-pass amplifier via the screw terminals or the five-way binding posts. They are internally parallel connected so that either terminal set may be used.

Do not use both with different power amplifiers!

Use only one!

Crossover Settings

Before you connect the crossover and begin listening, there are some internal switches that must be set. However, if you are using identical amplifiers for the high and low pass sections of the Statement, you may skip this step.

Remove the covers from the crossover modules that have the control knob. Inside you will see, towards the back, two red dip switches. The left dip switch as you face the crossover attenuates the low pass, the right dip switch attenuates the high-pass. These switches will balance the gain in amplifiers with different gain charac- teristics.

The following formula will help you calculate the gain of each amplifier:

Amplifier Gain = 20 log

(Rated Output @ 8 ohms) x 8

Input Sensitivity

 

Below is a list of switch settings to help you select the proper gain switch settings.

As you detent the switch towards the rear jacks, you are engaging that switch. In other words, you are turning the transducer down by 1 decibel per position as you detent the switch in numerical order away from1. In order to

properly engage a switch, you need to have all other switches opposed away from the rear jacks (off - one switch on at a time). Begin by setting both the low-pass and the high- pass in the number one position. If the high-pass and low- pass amplifiers have the same gain, the system is designed to operate with both dip switches set to “1” (Position “1” represents no attenuation). If the gain difference is known, attenuate the higher gain amplifier by the known gain difference using the switch one number higher than the attenuation needed in dB (Ie: switch “4” is 3db attenuation-all switches open is 8dB down).

If equipped, the best way now to obtain the optimal setting is to locate a spectrum analyzer in the room near your seating position, turn one system on with pink noise and begin to observe the relationship of the stat panel and the subwoofer at the crossover point approximately at 100 Hz. When you begin to see the spectrum becoming correct at that point, that is when you have the optimal crossover format. By correct, I mean flat, or even. The energy below 100 Hz is roughly comparable to the energy above 100 Hz. You should have reasonable tonal balance from 60 Hz onward to 200 Hz. At that point you have the optimal frequency balance at the crossover point. Keep in mind that specs and equipment can determine the best place to begin, but your ears are the most critical instrument available. Listen and adjust for your personal best balance.
