disconnected. The shield ground should be used only when
necessary.
Midrange/Tweeter Connections
Next, connect the mid/tweeter
panels to your power amplifier
using a pair of high quality
loudspeaker cables (not
supplied) to the 5-way binding
posts. We recommend using
good quality spade
connectors for this job.
There are two ways to get the
music signal from your
system to the Servo-Controlled Bass Amplifier to drive the woofers.
The first, and preferred way is to drive it using the output of the
power amplifier that is driving the midrange/ tweeter panels using
the supplied pair of Servo-Bass Interconnects.
The Servo-Bass Interconnect will be supplied with a pair of banana
plugs at one end, and an XLR balanced male plug at the other end.
The banana plugs will plug straight into the binding posts of the G2
midrange/tweeter tower inputs when you are using speaker cables
with spade connectors. If your speaker cables use banana plugs,
we will be able to convert your SBI to spade connectors for a
nominal charge.
The XLR connector contains a specially developed internal
balancing circuit that enables the power amplifier to drive the
balanced input of the servo amplifier. Because of the extremely
high impedance of the balancing circuit, the parallel connection
places absolutely no stress on the power amplifier. Do not use any
other interconnect cable for this purpose as the high level output
from your power amplifier will blow the inputs of the Control
Module! This internal circuit also allows even fully balanced power
amplifiers

to be connected this way.

Do NOT use this method of connection with Class D power amplifiers that have both +ve
and –ve speaker outputs floating above ground. Some of these amplifiers have as much
as 36V on their speaker “ground”, and this will damage the Servo-Controlled Bass
Amplifier. Use the second method of connection.
