Cabling for Audio Signals
Run all audio cables from the audio source to the monitors. When a subwoofer is used, run the
same signal to the monitor and the subwoofer. We recommend running the signal to the subwoofer
first. The subwoofer has output connectors to facilitate onward connection to the monitor.
Those audio channels that are not going to be bass managed can be run directly to the monitors
and do not need to run to the subwoofer. Bass management means using a subwoofer to
reproduce the low frequencies for any or all channels.
When you need both analog and digital audio cabling, it is possible to populate both analog and
digital inputs and outputs on SAM products. GLM 2.0 allows Group configuration to be either
analog or digital. Note that the 8320 features analog input only.
The most common audio cablings are introduced next.
Analog Stereo Example
Before cabling, turn off the power in all monitors.
•
connect audio cables from the audio source to the monitor ANALOG IN
Figure 2. Analog stereo cabling.
Analog Stereo with a Subwoofer Example
Before cabling, turn off the power in all monitors and subwoofers.
•
connect an audio cable from the source to the subwoofer connector ANALOG IN 1. This
can be the Left channel, for example.
•
connect a cable from subwoofer ANALOG OUT 1 to left monitor ANALOG IN.
•
connect (Right) audio cable from audio source to subwoofer ANALOG IN 2.
•
