User manual JBL SDEC 3000

[. . . ] The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. [. . . ] The JBL Synthesis Digital Equalizer (SDEC) is a 12-channel-in/20-channel-out 24-bit, 96kHz digital audio signal processor. Unlike nearly all other audio components on the market, the SDEC has been designed to work specifically with other Synthesis system components. This narrow application focus has allowed JBL engineers to design a product with far fewer compromises, resulting in unequalled system performance. By reading the following pages, you will become familiar with the technological features and unique capabilities incorporated within the SDEC and available nowhere else. Until now, anything beyond the most basic equalization has been impossible without expensive acoustical instrumentation and the knowledge to use it. This is why, traditionally, equalizers have been general-purpose devices, designed to be applicable to any audio system, and usually doing more harm than good!Add to this situation the fact that equalizing a speaker system by ear is truly a futile exercise. This helps to account for the generally low acceptance of equalizers outside of professional audio applications. FEATURES · Up to 256 bands of fully parametric EQ · Built-in crossover for bi-amp outputs (SDEC-4500 only) · Delay adjustment for each output · Delay adjustment for driver compensation · Screen compensation · Driver compensation · Web-based Java remote for basic system setup · Windows application for advanced system setup · Custom configuration possible · Remote VPN monitoring · Four subwoofer outputs (SDEC-4500 only) · Three pairs of side speaker outputs for large rooms with multiple rows of seating (SDEC-4500 only) · 24-Bit DSP · 96kHz sample rate on all inputs and outputs · Balanced or single-ended (unbalanced) inputs and outputs 4 SDEC3000. 4500. om. qxd 4/16/09 10:06 AM Page 5 DETAILED DIAGRAM ­ FRONT PANEL 0 2 31 4 56 0 INPUT/OUTPUT CARD MONITORING Each channel has three LED indicators showing: CLIP Illuminated ­ Indicates clipping in the analog domain for each channel of the fitted input or output card. SIGNAL Illuminated ­ The signal LED will light for each channel of a fitted input or output card when the signal reaches or exceeds the signal threshold of ­ 20dB. SYNC/48V This feature is currently not supported by JBL Synthesis (lights to indicate that + 48V "phantom" power has been activated for the relevant channel of a fitted input card or that Digital Sync is valid). 1 USB PORT This is currently for future use and is not supported (SDEC 4500 does not include USB). 2 DATA ACTIVITY The data activity LED will flash to indicate that the device is communicating with another control device, either on the network or via the serial or control ports. 3 NETWORK LINK The network link LED indicates the presence of Ethernet cables. If no cables are connected, the LED is unlit. The analog connections are balanced/unbalanced, on Phoenix/Combicon connectors. Depending on which model and configuration you have purchased will determine which input/output card has been installed at the factory. Please make sure to order the correct wiring kit, either S3000IC or S4500IC, with your system. 6 SDEC3000. 4500. om. qxd 4/16/09 10:06 AM Page 7 INPUT/OUTPUT ASSIGNMENTS SDEC-3000 The SDEC-3000 supports up to 7. 1 input with up to 7. 1 output. The input and output assignments are described in the below chart. You must make the correct connections from the surround processor output to the amplifier input for the system to work correctly. Please refer to the connection diagram for more information. The correct Synthesis Interconnect kit includes all the necessary connections for using the SDEC in the Synthesis system. Please be sure to order the S3000IC or S3000XLRIC for use with SDEC-3000 and S4000IC or S4500XLRIC for use with SDEC-4500. Please contact JBL Synthesis Technical Support for more information at 516. 594. 0300 (USA only). CONNECTION NOTES · Please follow the wiring diagram and the Input/Output Assignments chart for correct connections. · You will need to use the Ethernet network port on the rear panel of the unit for the final calibration process. You can connect the SDEC-3000 through any standard Ethernet hub. · When using the SDP-40HD processor, make sure the subwoofer (in speaker setup) is set to Mono output and connect to the Subwoofer Left output.
