Diagram shows asymetric room layout.  The system is not set up centrally

in the room, therefore the SB10 has been placed in the middle between the 

left and right monitors, but this still allows the SB10 to be away

from the room's centre.

           Audio connections: The audio source is connected to the left and right inputs of the 

SB10

 

 

           Controller. The left and right outputs of the controller are connected to the inputs of the left 

 

 

and right monitors. Connect the SB10 Controller to the 

SB10

 with as short a length of good  

 

 

quality speaker cable as is practical. It is important that speaker cables are twisted, shielded 

 

            or at least run closely paralleled to reduce loops conducting RF currents.   

 

            When powering up an audio system it is good practice to start at the source, e.g. 1

 left and right monitors. When powering down the reverse  

 

 

order should be adopted. 

 

 

Getting started: The following are approximate settings for combinations of the 

SB10

 with  

S6

S7

, and 

S8

. The overall gain structure will depend on your source levels. You should set 

the full range monitor gains so as you are comfortable with the maximum level achievable 
from your source. You can then bring the SB10 gain up to match

The above settings are for the highest sonic performance of the system. Raising the  

 

 

crossover frequency would result in increased head room in the bass driver and allow for  

 

 

higher maximum system spl. However the response would not be as smooth, the imaging not  

 

 

so precise.
