When using the Goldmund Speaker Cable, the Speaker Adapter can be avoided and
the coaxial cable directly connected to the large coaxial connectors provided on the
speaker back panel.
The sonic improvement which can be achieved in the best systems is quite dramatic.
B. Connection in a 2 channel Stereo system :
The Upper Epilogue 1 satellite and Epilogue 2 Bass enclosure may be connected as
above and the same 3 possibilities exist, here too.
However, the importance of level matching in the Full Epilogue System used in
Stereo is extremely critical, and amplifiers with input level adjustment are a practical
necessity.
More, using two separate amplifiers for Epilogue 2 and the upper Epilogue 1 Satellite
is allowing a separate adjustment of the Epilogue 2 and Upper Epilogue 1 which is
very helpful in the system final tonal balance.
The lower Epilogue 1 Satellite amplifier is connected to the same preamplifier output.
However, if the system has to be used at high levels, a protection circuit has to be
inserted in the amplifier input circuit, in order to limit its bandwidth.
The ultimate solution is an additional passive crossover made by Goldmund which is
exactly adapting the level, frequency response and Group Delay of the second
satellite to mirror the upper satellite. See your dealer for availability.
For a perfect tonal balance, it is recommended to adjust the level of the amplifiers
connected to the Epilogue 2 individually. A power amplifier with built-in level
adjustment like the Mimesis 29.4 may be helpful.
When each separate speaker is individually powered by a Mimesis 29.4 and the
lower Epilogue 1 special crossover is used for the lower Epilogue 1 speaker, the
theoretical adjustments are as follow :
•
Upper Epilogue 1 : -6dB
•
Epilogue 2 : -3dB
•
Lower Epilogue 1 : -6dB
•
Epilogue 3/4 : Crossover in position 1 or 2. Volume ¾ to full.
The Epilogue ¾ analogue input interconnect has to be connected in parallel form the
output of the preamplifier with the other amplifiers.
