The two primary windings of the transformer are wired in series for 230V operation, and in

parallel for 115V operation, depending on the position of the customer accessible voltage select switch. If the system is accidentally energized at 230V with the switch in the 115V position, the replaceable fuse (F1 located on the Main PCB assembly), will open the circuit within two minutes. This will be the only damage to the system. A non-serviceable thermal fuse is located inside the transformer to limit the maximum temperature to 145 °C under abnormal conditions. However, in most cases the externa ...

4. High Frequency (HF) Equalization

High frequency equalization and crossover is achieved through three cascaded active EQ stages. These stages consist of U103, U104 and U105. The purpose of equalization is twofold: • It provides very sharp low frequency attenuation below 200 Hz (the crossover frequency) to prevent overload of the L/R speakers • It provides finely tailored correction in the speaker passband so that overall frequency response of the system is acoustically correct The U103 stage is a combination 2nd order 200 Hz high-pass filter and 5 dB 2 kHz dip notch filter. The U10 ...

Satellite Test Procedures

NOTE: These procedures test the satellite without the bass module. 1. Sweep Test A. Connect an oscillator to a power amplifier. Adjust the amplifier output to 4 Vrms. Connect the amplifier leads to the satellite (cube speaker) input terminals. Sweep the oscillator from 100 Hz to 5 kHz. If any twiddler buzzes or sounds distorted, replace it. 2. Phase Test IMPORTANT: Supply voltage should only be momentarily applied to the satellite input terminals to avoid possible damage to the twiddlers. A. Set a DC power supply to 8 volts. To ensure that each twiddler is connecte ...

3. Tone Control Test

NOTE: This test can be performed with a fully assembled module. A. Connect an oscillator to the module’s L/R audio input terminals. Adjust the oscillator to 100 Hz, 220 mVrms. B. Rotate the bass control knob fully clockwise and counterclockwise from it's center or “normal” position. The bass level should increase and decrease cleanly without making a scratchy noise. Clean or replace any potentiometer that makes this noise. C. Repeat this procedure for the treble control using a frequency of 4 kHz. 4. Frequency Response of L/R (Twiddler) Channels NOTE: This test ca ...
