●
Please also refer to the “System Set-Up #1” drawing on the facing page.
●
Cables needed:
2 Pair: Speaker to Binding Posts, the banana plug type (Speakers B, C)
1 Pair: 1/4” TRS Balanced to Monitor Line output “A” (Powered Speakers)
6 Pair: RCA I/O to Devices
2 Pair: 1/4” TRS Balanced to Device “A” L/R I/O
1 Pair: 1/4” TRS Balanced to “SOURCE” L/R Input
1 Pair: 1/4” TRS Balanced to Power Amp L/R Inputs
1 Pair: Power Amp Out to “FROM POWER AMP OUT” Binding Posts (banana plugs)
●
Make sure SRM-80 and all other devices are switched “OFF” before making any cable connections.
●
Decide which devices will be labeled “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D”. Device “A” should be any pro level balanced units,
such as a DAT machine. Label the Output Select Switch and the speaker pairs on the front panel tabs. Use
adhesive labels so you can relabel for different confi gurations.
●
Mount the SRM-80 in your rack. Depending on your setup, it may be easier to cable all your gear before mount-
ing the SRM-80 in your rack. Otherwise, go ahead and mount it now.
●
Set AMP/SPK - B/C Switch to SPK - B/C.
●
Connect passive speaker cables to “SPEAKER C” and “SPEAKER B” Binding Posts.
●
Connect Power Amp L/R Output cables to “FROM AMP OUTPUT” Binding Posts.
●
If you have the optional SRM-RU remote unit, which we highly recommend, connect its 5-Pin
cable to “RE MOTE.”
●
Connect 1/4” TRS Balanced cables from your powered monitors to MONITOR LINE OUTPUT “A” L/R.
●
Connect 1/4” TRS Balanced cables from MONITOR LINE OUT PUT “B” L/R to your power amp “IN” L/R.
●
Connect RCA cables from “L/R In/Out” to devices “B”, “C”, and “D”, according to your setup plan.
●
Connect 1/4” TRS Balanced cables from “A” L/R, I/O to device “A”
●
Connect 1/4” TRS Balanced cables from “SOURCE” L/R to source device.
(e.g. mixing console stereo out or soundcard out).
●
Set the Ground Lift Switch to the position that reduces any hum or buzz.
●
Set the “0db / +4db” switch to the appropriate meter scale for the equipment being used.
●
Power up your equipment, being sure to turn on your power amp last.
●
Set “SPEAKER TRIM” controls at about 75%. After powering up the system, adjust levels as needed. To dial in
your speaker levels use broadband pink noise and sound level meter. The Alan Parsons/Stephen Court align-
ment CD is very good, and a decent meter can be had for about $40 at Radio Shack.
For using more than 1 pair of power speakers or multiple power amps see System Set-up #2 on the next page.
