Making the Connections

Using Two CM-30 Speakers for Stereo Playback (Stereo Link)

Stereo playback is enabled simply by connecting two CM-30 units with a single or double audio cables (phone type). This function is called “Stereo Link.”

Since the CM-30’s mixer section operates in stereo, the L or R channel signal can be output from a STEREO LINK OUT jack. This means you can enjoy stereo playback by making connections as follows.

Basic (up to five inputs) stereo playback (Connection example 1)

Stereo playback (up to ten inputs) using the mixers of both CM-30 units (Connection example 2)

Example 1

You can connect up to five input sources.

Example 2

You can connect up to ten input sources.

If you want to connect input sources to the R CM-30

As described in step 1 of example 1, connect the R side’s STEREO LINK OUT L jack to the L side’s STEREO LINK IN jack.

Operation

1.Connect the devices to the L and R CM-30.

2.Connect the STEREO LINK OUT R jack on the L CM-30 and the STEREO LINK IN jack on the R CM-30.

3.Connect the STEREO LINK OUT L jack on the R CM-30 and the STEREO LINK IN jack on the L CM-30.

4.Turn on both L and R CM-30.

5.Adjust the volume levels on all devices.

6.Adjust the R and L CM-30 volume levels separately using their MASTER knobs.

About the Volume and Tone Settings

Adjust the R and L volume levels separately using their MASTER knobs.

You can adjust the equalizer (LOW and HIGH knobs) independently for the L and R sides.

Basically, they should be set to the same positions, but you can adjust each one as necessary to suit the needs of a particular setup.

*The STEREO PHONES jack will provide stereo playback of only the sources connected to the local speaker (L or R).
