5.Stereo Input & Parallel Thru Jacks

For normal operation, connect the ES700P just like an ordinary speaker, along with the Full-Range speakers and set the Input Level switch to SPEAKER. If the audio source does not have a ground pin on the AC cord, the Input Ground switch must be set to GROUND (GND). The ES700P may be plugged in before or after the Full-Range speakers. Use the Left and Right Inputs when using a single ES700P in a stereo system. Use either the Left or the Right inputs when using separate ES700P's for each side (or when used in a Mono system). The ES700P does not alter the signal to the Full-Range speakers, and will not draw any power from the host amplifier driving them. Please note that an external crossover is not necessary.

As well as accommodating the full range speakers, the PARALLEL THRU jacks allow many ES700Ps to be connected in a string (or otherwise in parallel). There is no practical limit to the number of ES700Ps that may be connected together.

6. Protection

The ES700P has circuitry to prevent clipping, over current and over excursion. The circuitry does not alter the frequency response as the level changes. At high levels the limiter will limit the gain of the ES700P and hence if the user attempts to set the subwoofer level control at high levels the resulting setting will be incorrect. The level control should be set while operating at low levels (under 10 watts).

If the level control is set to high due to setting it at high operating levels the input circuit will clip and the dynamics of the bass will be lost. This can happen without audible distortion since the filters will filter out the distortion.
