. Quick 2.1 System Setup Instructions 1. Blue Sky monitoring systems leave the factory fully calibrated. With the gain control on the SAT 6.5 MK II set to the reference mark, a 200mV (-11.7dBu) pink noise signal, with a bandwidth of 500 to 2kHz, will yield 90dB SPL at 1 meter. With the gain on the SUB 12 set to the reference mark, or -9dB on the SUB 15, 100mV (-13.7dBu) pink noise signal, with a bandwidth of 40Hz to 80Hz, on one of the inputs, will yield 90dB of output at 1 meter.

6. A Tour of SAT 6.5 MK II Amplifier & Electronics 1. XLR INPUT 0dB - This XLR input should be connected to a bassmanaged output which includes a 12dB per octave 80Hz high-pass filter, such as the bass-managed outputs on the SUB 15, SUB 12, or BMC. This input is electronically balanced. Do not connect more than one source to this input. With the gain control on the SAT 6.5 MK II set to the reference mark, and the input attenuator set to the +24dBu setting, a 200mV (-11.
7. SAT 6.5 MK II Mounting & Placement Center of the tweeter Monitor mounting and placement is often an afterthought, but in order to get the best imaging and overall performance from the SAT 6.5 MK II, it is important to place the speakers correctly. Monitoring Height: Figure 2 shows the ideal monitoring height, with the SAT 6.5 MK II located perfectly at seated ear height. If this is not possible, tilting the cabinet at the listening area can improve high-frequency coverage.
���� System Signal Flow & Connections ���� 8. ���� ������ ���� ���� ���� �������� ���������� ������� ���� ��������� 2.1 SYSTEM SIGNAL FLOW & CONNECTIONS Above is a simple diagram showing a Sky System One / 2.1 Monitoring system. The diagram shows a stereo signal going from the source, to the subwoofer and from the SUB outputs to the inputs on left and right SAT 6.5 MK II monitors.
9. Expanded Calibration Guide Instructions for electroacoustic calibration of a 2.1 audio system using a SPL meter and Blue Sky’s test files. Step 3 Mute everything and make sure the 1kHz tone is OFF . Step 4 Now that the system has been electrically calibrated turn ON the 2.1 System. Step 5 Assign the 500-2.5kHz pink noise signal to the left channel only. Make sure there is nothing coming from the right channel (or any other channels).
10. Subwoofer Placement Guide So now that my system uses an integral subwoofer, how do I place it in my studio for the best possible low frequency performance? The low frequency response and efficiency of a subwoofer are heavily influenced by the acoustics of the playback environment. More specifically, the response is influenced by the room’s dimensional ratios, types of construction and location of the subwoofer within that environment.
