Understanding and using this setup
This setup requires…
►
one Master monitor with the optional Digital AES/
EBU Input Card installed,
►
four Slave monitors (or Masters set as Slave) and
►
one subwoofer.
►
Audio signals are represented by solid lines.
►
TC link signals are represented by dashed lines.
►
The Center monitor is set as the System Controller
by setting the TC Link button on the rear panel to
the “out” position.
►
The Center monitor receives all six channels on its
three AES/EBU connections.
►
The monitor’s Digital IN connection receives the
Center and LFE signals.
►
The digital input No. 2 on the I/O card receives the
left signal and the right signal.
►
The digital input No. 3 on the I/O card receives the
left surround signal and the right surround signal.
►
The right, left, left surround and right surround
monitor and the subwoofer receive their signal
via TC LINK RJ-45 connections from the Center
Master monitor.
►
A clock signal must be sent over the AES connec-
tion feeding the Center/LFE channels (or via BNC).
►
With no bass management, only the LFE signal is
fed to the Sub.
►
With bass management activated, low-frequency
information is extracted from the five main chan-
nels below the set crossover frequency and fed to
the subwoofer.
►
The AIR Remote or a computer running the AIR
Control software (both optional) can be connected
to any available TC LINK Out connection.
