1. Multi-Aperture Acoustic Diffraction Absorber - To reduce
destructive cabinet diffraction reflections, Blue Sky has developed
and incorporated into the baffle, the proprietary “Multi-Aperture
Acoustic Diffraction Absorber”, which helps to maintain smooth
on and off axis frequency response throughout the critical HF
frequency range, without the need for a large wave guide or
horn.
2. 1” tweeter, featuring a dual ring radiator diaphragm with integral
waveguide, high-power ferrite motor structure along with full
video shielding.
3. 6.5”, high–excursion, woofer with vented motor, cast aluminum
frame, 1.5 inch aluminum voice coil, copper shorting ring for
lower distortion and ultra low power compression. The cone of
the woofer is made of mica filled polypropylene and features a
durable and long lasting rubber surround. The woofer is also fully
video shielded.
4. Low Turbulence Tuned Resonance Port: This port extends
the LF response of the SAT 6.5 EXR to -3dB @ 40Hz.
5. 1/4 x 20 Mounting Inserts (located on the bottom of the
SAT 6.5 EXR) - Inserts / hole patterns, compatible with
OmniMount® Type 60 brackets are located on the bottom of
the SAT 6.5 EXR. These brackets are designed to support up
to 60 pounds of weight when properly installed. Please visit
www.omnimount.com for more information, including detailed
mounting instructions. Please see page 13 [Technical
Specifications & Dimensions] for more information on insert
locations. Also see page 3 [Safety Instructions] item 17
“MOUNTING”.
6. Located on the electronics panel on the back of the SAT
6.5 EXR:
Dual independent input stages, via XLR connectors - The rear
panel of SAT 6.5 EXR incorporates two completely independent
balanced input stages with XLR connectors. The main input is
for standard 80Hz bass-managed operation and the second
Extended Range input for traditional monitoring, without the use
of a SUB (-3dB @ 40Hz). For more information please see page
6 & 7 [A Tour of the SAT 6.5 EXR Amplifier & Electronics] and
page 9 [System Signal Flow & Connections].
For true full-range monitoring we strongly recommend using
either the SUB 15 Universal, SUB 212 and SUB 12. For more
information please see page 4 [Important notes about the SAT
6.2 EXR and this owners manual].
Baffle Compensation - The SAT 6.5 EXR includes four primary
baffle compensation settings, each of which reduces the MF to
LF “bump” that typically results from mounting a speaker in a
baffle wall. The amount of compensation needed is dependent on
room acoustics, along with the size and type of baffle wall. The
only way to accurately determine the amount of compensation
needed is to use a high resolution acoustic analyzer, such as
MLSSA, TEF, etc. For more information please see page 6 & 7 [A
Tour of the SAT 6.5 EXR Amplifier & Electronics].
Tweeter Level Controls - The SAT 6.5 EXR includes +/- 3dB of
tweeter level adjustments, in 1dB increments. The switches are
additive, so in order to increase the level of the tweeter by 3dB
set both the 2 and 1dB switches to the UP position. We highly
recommend that you only change these settings, from the “flat”
position, as a last resort and only after doing proper acoustics
treatment of the room and ensuring proper placement of the
SAT 6.5 EXR. For more information please see page 6 & 7 [A
Tour of the SAT 6.5 EXR Amplifier & Electronics] and page 14
[Measurement Data].
Input gain and level controls - The SAT 6.5 EXR includes both a
continuously variable input gain control and individual 10dB input
pads. This allows the user to adjust the gain from REF (200mv of
500 to 2kHz pink noise = 90dB SPL @ 1M) to -22dB. For more
information please see page 6 & 7 [A Tour of the SAT 6.5 EXR
Amplifier & Electronics].
