SYSTEM CONNECTION DIAGRAM 2:
Multiple Fathom v2s to
Home Theater Receiver or
Home Theater Preamp/Processor
To greatly simplify using multiple
subwoofers in a single home theater
system, Fathom v2s incorporate a "Master/
Slave" signal distribution system. This
allows control of all the Fathom v2s in a
system from a single "Master" unit.
First, you will select a Fathom v2
subwoofer as the "Master" via its upper
"Input Mode" switch. Generally, you will
designate the Fathom v2 closest to the
receiver/preamp as the master. In some
cases; for example, when the control panel
of certain units is difficult to access, you
may prefer to designate the one which is
easiest to access as the master.
Two connection types are available for
connecting the master Fathom v2 to your
home theater system: balanced (XLR or
1/4-inch TRS connector) and unbalanced
(RCA-type connector). Balanced
connections provide superior noise
rejection and ensure proper grounding
between components. If your receiver or
processor has balanced outputs, we highly
recommend that you use them to connect
to the Fathom v2 designated as the master.
In the connection diagram at left,
balanced connections are shown as solid
lines, unbalanced connections are shown
dotted. You will only use one of these
input connection methods for the Fathom
v2 designated as the master (not both).
The remaining Fathom v2s in the
system will be configured as "Slave" units
via their upper "Input Mode" switches.
Using balanced XLR cables, you will
connect the master Fathom v2's "Output
to Slave" to the "Left or Mono" balanced
input of the first slave Fathom v2. That
slave unit's "Output to Slave" connector
will feed the "Left or Mono" input of
the next slave unit via another balanced
XLR cable. Subsequent slave units will
be connected in the same manner.
IMPORTANT
Connections between the "Master" and
"Slave" Fathoms and between "Slave"
Fathoms are via balanced XLR cables ONLY.
