[. . . ] This way, you can adjust the listening volume independently from your mixing consoles main mix signal. Therefore, you will require no speaker cables. Instead, you will need to use standard, commercially available two-core shielded XLR microphone cables. + Be sure to mute the signal sources before you power the B2092A on. There are different ways to integrate your B2092A into a loudspeaker system. Some examples are shown here: 3. 1. 1 Stereo setup with subwoofer + + Fig. APPLICATIONS TRUTH B2092A Connect the mixing console outputs to the B2092A inputs marked LEFT and RIGHT . If you are using active monitors as main loudspeakers (e. g. B2030A or B2031A), connect the left loudspeaker to LEFT OUT, and connect the right loudspeaker to RIGHT OUT. If using passive loudspeakers, connect LEFT OUT and RIGHT OUT connectors to the power amplifier inputs. The B2092A separates the bass segment of the audio signal for the subwoofer and sends all frequencies above the 80-Hz mark to the outputs for the main loudspeakers. Surround system without decoder: You can create a surround system even without using a surround decoder, for example as a multichannel monitor system at your sound studio or for specific surround installations. The surround channels are reproduced using a single output of a mixing console, a surround monitor controller or using the separately recorded channels of a multitrack recorder. Connect the output of the front left channel to the LEFT IN connector on the B2092A; connect the output of the front right channel to the RIGHT IN connector. Connect the center channel output to CENTER IN. If the surround mix has no separate subwoofer channel, the signal for this channel is created using the bass segments of the left, center and right channels. Now, connect the left (active) front loudspeaker to LEFT OUT. Connect CENTER OUT to the center speaker and RIGHT OUT to the right speaker. All additional surround speakers (Left Surround = LS, Right Surround = RS) are connected directly to the corresponding outputs on your system. If you wish to use passive loudspeakers, connect the individual surround channels of your system to the power amp inputs of the corresponding surround speakers. 3. 1. 2 Multichannel surround setup 3. 2 Input signal level adjustment If the loudspeaker system is correctly wired and powered on, you can bring up the control room output of your mixing console or the volume controls of your decoder. If a signal source is connected, you can hear your B2092A for the first time. To obtain well-balanced sound, you only have to adjust the input sensitivity of your subwoofer. The default INPUT TRIM control setting is 0 dB. To adjust the signal level to the main speakers, values from -6 dB to +6 dB can be selected using this control.
