3) The input sensitivity of the two amplifiers
needs to be adjusted independently. To
properly calibrate the amplifiers for
maximum, identical, clean output, please
refer to Appendix A (page 14). After using this
procedure, you can then adjust the level of the
amplifiers by adjusting the input sensitivities
downward, if the amplifiers require attenuation
to achieve the desired system balance. If the
input sensitivities are adjusted, the amplifiers
must be recalibrated to ensure identical power
output levels.
Note: TheInput Range” switch on all “Slave
amplifiers needs to be set to “Low”, even if
the “Master” amplifier is high voltage and its
switch is set to High. All signals passed out
of the preamp outputs of the amplifier are
compatible with the “Low” setting on the “Input
Range” control.
4) If you would like to run a third amplifier
in “Slave” configuration, select the “Full-
Range” position on the “Output Mode
switch of the first “Slave” amplifier. Then,
connect an RCA cable from the first
“Slave” amplifier’s preamp outputs to the
second “Slave” amplifier. As you did with
the first “Slave” amplifier, set the second
“Slave” amplifier’s “Amp LP Filter” to the
Off” position. Then, calibrate the third
amplifier’sInput Range” and Input
Sens.” controls in the same manner as you
did for the second amplifier.
Additional amplifiers may be added to this
“Master/Slave” configuration following the same
procedure as in step 4.
Once you match the input sensitivities of
all the amplifiers, you can use the “Master
amplifier’sAmp LP Filterand “Advanced
Bass Controlfeatures to control the “Slave
amplifier(s). If the remote bass control (RBC-1) is
used, it need only be connected to the “Master
amplifier to control all the amplifiers in the
“Master/Slave” chain.
Reference the diagram showing a “Master/
Slave” configuration with one “Master” (top
amplifier) and two “Slave” amplifiers. Switches
and controls that are defeated in the “Slave”
amplifiers are printed in gray.
APPENDIX D:
Master/Slave Configurations
With the flexible on-board crossovers and
processing incorporated into the 1200/1v3, it
is possible to connect multiple 1200/1v3’s in a
“Master/Slave” configuration, with each amplifier
driving its own speaker system but controlled by
the processing and filtering of only one amplifier.
This is very useful when driving multiple
subwoofers with multiple amplifiers.
To create a Master/Slave configuration, first
determine which amplifier will be the “Master”
amplifier and connect the main input signal to
that amplifier (from the source unit or from an
outboard processor). This amplifier’s “Amp LP
Filter” section and Advanced Bass Control
features will process the signal for the “Slave”
amplifier or amplifiers.
Here is the procedure for implementing a
“Master/Slave” configuration:
1) Set the “Master” amplifier’s “Output Mode
switch to the center “Amp Filterposition.
This will send a parallel, mono-summed signal
from the “Master” amplifiers Amp LP Filter
section to its preamp outputs.
2) Connect an RCA cable from the “Master”
amplifier’s preamp outputs to the main input
of the first “Slave” amplifier. Set the “Slave
amplifier’sAmp LP Filterto the Off
position. This will defeat the LP filter and the
bass processing of this “Slave” amplifier.
