2.1 & 2.0 SYSTEM SIGNAL FLOW & CONNECTIONS
Above is a simple diagram showing how a SAT 6.5 EXR system may be
wired for a stereo applications. The system show a full-range source (the
console), which has two monitoring outputs (A & B). Monitoring output A, is
the main bass-managed output and goes from the console, to the subwoofer
and from there to the 80Hz bass-managed input on the SAT 6.5 EXR. The
system also shows monitoring output B from the console being used as a
full-range source for the 40Hz / “Extended Range” input on the SAT 6.5 EXR
(-3dB at 40Hz).
When a SAT 6.5 EXR system is configured as above, with two switchable
monitoring sources, the user can easily A/B between both a true full-
range system (30Hz LF response or better), using a bass-management
subwoofer(s), or the 40Hz / “Extended Range” input.
Multiple Subs:
The diagram above also shows the optional use of multiple subwoofers.
Multiple subwoofers can be used to increase SPL and improve the LF
response of the system, by placing the subwoofers so as to smooth out
the LF response at the mix / monitoring position. Please note that we
recommend that you run the subs in MONO, by using the subwoofer out on
the main sub and then feeding the next sub in the chain.
We do not recommend running stereo subwoofers, because the LF response
in the room will not be as consistent using this method. This is because
electrical summation of the LF signals (as is done with bass-management
using a mono subwoofer / LF signal), is a very predictable and repeatable
way to get consistent LF response. LF phase issues between channels are
resolved in the most absolute and accurate way - electrically.
Cable and connector wiring:
Use high-quality, shielded cables to connect your console, workstation or
other sources to your SAT 6.5 EXR / Blue Sky Subwoofer system. Foil-
shielded cables, such as Belden 8451, 8761, or 9501 should do quite well.
Other high quality cables are available and those that incorporate better
shielding will yield an overall higher noise rejection, lowering your systems
susceptibility to external interference. Another important tip to keep in mind
when wiring your system is to route all line level cables away from the AC
and other power sources, this will reduce the probability of having AC hum
emanating from your monitoring system.
