2.1
Important Information for set up
We recommend using high quality XLR cables to guarantee optimal performance.
We recommend that you retain the original packaging, as it is the best way to
guarantee safe transportation should the need to do so arise.
Please note that with the use of the EA-SX external amp unit the option to retrofit
the SX monitors with the ADAM DA-SX 24 bit/192 kHz D/A converter will not be
available anymore.
2.2
Connecting the external amp unit to the monitors
a)
Before connecting the loudspeakers to the 19” external amp unit make sure that
your audio source is switched off.
b)
Connect each monitor to one EA-SX amp unit by using one Speakon cable. You
can order cables in either 5 or 10 meter lengths from ADAM Audio.
Please note that in order to connect the monitors to the external amp unit you must
use the ADAM Audio ready-made Speakon cables.
Attention owners of the S5X-H!
You will find two Speakon jacks on each monitor that have to be connected to
one EA-SX amp unit per monitor. Please make sure you do not cross the two
cables while connecting them to the external amp unit. The respective Speakon
jacks on both the monitors and the external amp unit are labelled with
Speakon 1
and
Speakon 2
and have to be connected correspondingly.
c)
Connect your mixing desk/DAW to one EA-SX per monitor channel using the XLR
connector on the back panel of the external amp unit.
d)
Check if the specified voltage matches the voltage of the power supply you use. If
this is not the case do not connect the EA-SX to a power source! Please contact
your local dealer or national distributor.
If the voltages match, use the included power cables to connect the EA-SX to the
AC socket.
e)
Power on the external amp unit at the back panel first and then at the front
(Standby switch).
f)
Turn on your audio source and adjust the volume carefully.
