XBD SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
In an XBD system both speakers should be fed the same input signal. This is
normally achieved by using the digital ‘through’ output of the main speaker
to feed the subwoofer but, alternatively, both speakers could be fed directly
from the same analogue source via a splitter cable.
An XBD system can be set up in three ways:
• Manually setting each speaker to XBD Mode ON
• Linking the speakers in the SoundAlign interface
• Form a standalone link by connecting an Ethernet cable directly between
the RJ-45 connectors of the following speaker combinations:
– PMC6 and PMC8 SUB
– PMC6-2 and PMC8-2 SUB
– PMC8-2 and PMC8-2 SUB
In each case the speaker will apply adjustments to its crossover to ensure
optimum integration between the full-range and subwoofer cabinets.
Linking speakers with SoundAlign
Linking the full range and subwoofer cabinets using the SoundAlign interface
brings added benets of:
• The speaker will be merged into a single entry in the main window and
the model name will indicate that the speakers are acting as a single XBD
system.
• User settings applied to one speaker will be applied simultaneously to both
speakers.
To form an XBD link in the SoundAlign interface, open the Model Info box on
the subwoofer which you wish to link and select the appropriate full-range
speaker from the drop-down.
