Page 19 | Fathom IWS
“Output to Slave” Connector
If you are operating more than one Fathom IWS subwoofer in one home
theater system, you will designate one Fathom IWS as the Master (see page 20),
and then feed signal from it to the remaining “Slave” Fathom IWSs via this
balanced XLR output. e “Output to Slave” cable can be connected to the “Le
or Mono” balanced XLR input on the next Fathom IWS. When a Fathom IWS is
in “Slave” Mode, its “Output to Slave” connection can be used to pass signal to
further Fathom IWSs operating in “Slave” mode.
e “Output to Slave” connector is designed to be used as follows:
1) From the “Master” Fathom IWS’s “Output to Slave” connector to the rst
“Slave” Fathom IWS’s “Le or Mono” XLR balanced input.
2) From the rst “Slave” Fathom IWS’s “Output to Slave” connector to the
second “Slave” Fathom IWS’s “Le or Mono” XLR balanced input.
3) From the second “Slave” Fathom IWS’s “Output to Slave” connector to
the third “Slave” Fathom IWS’s “Le or Mono” XLR balanced input. Etc,
etc. (up to ten Fathom IWSs may be connected in this conguration).
Appropriate balanced cables with XLR terminations are available from
your JL Audio dealer and are not included with the Fathom IWS.
Technical Notes:
• e “Output to Slave” signal carries any signal processing selected on
the Master Fathom IWS (including the Master Level setting and A.R.O.
processing) to further Fathom IWSs operating in “Slave” mode.
• From Fathom IWSs operating in “Slave” mode, the “Output to Slave”
signal is an exact, buered replica of the balanced input signal, making this
method of signal distribution preferable to using
Y-adapters or splitters.
• Use only shielded, connection cables with high quality
XLR connectors for Master/Slave connection. Never use unbalanced cables
with adaptors.
IEC-Style AC Connector
e IEC-style AC cord receptacle receives the heavy-gauge, 6 . (1.8 m) long,
power cord included with your Fathom IWS subwoofer. Your Fathom IWS should
only be powered from a 120 V AC, 60 Hz outlet. Do not use any AC power cord
other than the one supplied with the Fathom IWS.
e Fathom IWS subwoofer is a very powerful device and can draw a lot of
current. If too many components are connected with a Fathom IWS subwoofer
to one electrical outlet, you risk tripping a household circuit breaker during
very demanding program material. If this happens, split the Fathom IWS and
other components between two AC electrical circuits. If possible, for maximum
performance, dedicate an AC circuit to each Fathom IWS.
