JBL Synthesis® ArrayTM Module home theater speaker. This product represents the synthesis of everything that JBL has learned about the emotional power of audio and video in sixty years of preeminence in the field. It sets new benchmarks in the use of "high technology" and provides you with the experience of being in some of the world's greatest movie houses and concert halls, right at home!JBL's Synthesis Array speaker systems feature the following: controller and amplifiers, your speaker system will deliver a state-of-the-art THX home theater experience to your living room. [. . . ] In that case, the positive terminal will be colored to correspond to the channel position, while the negative terminal will be black. It is important to connect all speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (­) on the speaker to (­) on the amplifier. Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and poor imaging. With the advent of multichannel surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material. Now find a visual difference between the two conductors of each molded pair of speaker wires. Differentiating marks can be a different color wire (copper or silver); a strand of yarn in one conductor; thin, raised ribs on one part of the outer insulation; or a printed marking on one part of the outer insulation. It doesn't matter which of the two strands go to the (+) and (­) on the speakers and amplifiers, as long as all speakers are connected identically. Push down on the binding post, insert the wire into the hole, and release. CONNECTIONS TO THE SYNTHESIS ELECTRONICS The SAM1HF and SAM2LF speaker modules do not have a built-in crossover. They must be used with the active crossover as designed in the SDEC-4000 digital equalizer in a bi-amplified configuration or with the outboard passive crossover, SAM12x, with the SDEC-3000. Each SAM module will require a single amplifier channel in a bi-amplifed system. Connect the SAM modules according to the chart on the following page. NOTES: · The SAM1HF will connect to the HI output of the SDEC-4000 or SAM12x. · The SAM2LF will connect to the LOW output of the SDEC-4000 or SAM12x. · Please consult the SDEC-4000 and SDEC-3000 installation guide for detailed instructions. · DO NOT use a full-range output from an amplifier, as damage may occur unless you are using the SAM12x. 10 CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS TO THE REST OF YOUR SYSTEM INPUT/OUTPUT ASSIGNMENTS WITH ACTIVE CROSSOVER (BI-AMPED) Surround Processor to SDEC-4000P Inputs S4000IC Number Channel SDEC-4000P 1 FRONT LEFT A1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 FRONT RIGHT CENTER LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE LEFT REAR RIGHT REAR SUBWOOFER N/C N/C N/C N/C A2 A3 A4 B1 B2 B3 B4 C1 C2 C3 C4 SDEC-4000P Outputs to Amplifiers S4000IC Number Channel 21 SUBWOOFER 1 22 SUBWOOFER 2 23 SUBWOOFER 3 24 SUBWOOFER 4 NOTE: You must also connect both the CobraNet® audio connections and Ethernet control connections to complete the installation.
