System Connections
F
or use with a stereo power amplifier and satellite speakers
For a stereo system you will need one stereo amplifier, two Mycro Bass enclosures and two satellite
speakers. Both Mycro 8 and Mycro 10 are suitable for use as satellite speakers with Mycro Bass. Connect
the amplifers (
L
) output to the passive in on a Mycro Bass enclosure. Connect the amplifiers (
R
) output to
the passive in on the other Mycro Bass enclosure.
Connect one satellite speaker to the passive out on each Mycro Bass enclosure. For the Mycro Bass to work
in passive mode the passive/active mode switch must be set to its in ( ) position. The Mycro Bass comes
factory set to work in passive mode.
If more than one Mycro Bass is to be connected to one side of an amplifier you can use the passive link out
to connect to the passive in on the next Mycro Bass.
How to use the active input.
In active mode the internal passive low pass filter is bypassed, so you will have to power the Mycro Bass via
an external active crossover. Set the active crossovers hi pass filter to 40 Hz and its low pass filter to 130 Hz.
For optimum results use either 18 or 24 dB per octave slopes on both hi and low pass filters.
Next locate the passive/active mode switch on the rear connector panel on the Mycro Bass. Use a small
screw driver or other pointed object and press the switch so that it is in its out ( ) position. Mycro Bass is
now ready to work in active mode. This can be confirmed by looking at the mode switch which should now
be protruding from the rear panel. Please note that you cannot power satellite speakers from a Mycro Bass
when it is in active mode.
If more than one Mycro Bass is to be connected to one side of an amplifier you can use the active link out
to connect to the active in on the next Mycro Bass.
Precautions
1. Install Mycro Bass in a dry environment, do not expose the cabinet to rain or moisture.
2. When using the active input, make sure the active/passive mode switch is in the out ( ) position.
