1.1 How to use this manual
This owners manual is written to assist you in setting the SP2 up in a way that lets you get the most
out of it. To this end we think it is useful to give a concise description of the SP2’s general mode of
operation. However, we are not trying to write a textbook on audio engineering where everything
can be covered in detail. Therefore some of the terminology used in the text is listed in a glossary
found in the appendix. If you should still encounter any trouble in finding a setup to suit your needs,
please talk to your dealer.
2 The controls and connectors
On the front panel (see fig. 3) you find the following connectors and indicators:
•
audio in channels A and B: The SP2’s input channels A and B, which are connected to a
mixer’s stereo outputs.
•
link to next panel channels A and B: Feed-through of the input signals, which is provided for
connecting another SP2 or a power amp.
•
Power on-LED: Indicator lights up when ac power is present.
•
Signal A/B-LED: Indicators light up when the input signal level rises above -20dB.
•
Limit-LEDs Woofer/HighMid: Indicators show when the limiter is in operation.
•
output to speakers: Speakon jacks to connect the speaker system.The highmid signal is
present on pins 1+/-, the bass signal on pins 2+/-.
The back panel’s connectors (see fig.4) are as follows
•
Signal to Amp jacks for HighMid A/B and Woofer A/B: Jacks to connect your power amp
inputs. These outputs deliver the wet SP2 signal.
•
Power Connection from Amp: Binding post pairs which are connected to the power amp
outputs. Caution: Never connect or disconnect any power amp output while the power
amp is in operation! Always turn off the power amp first!
