SYSTEM CONNECTION DIAGRAM 2:
Multiple Fathom IWSv2s to
Home Theater Receiver or
Home Theater Preamp/Processor
To greatly simplify using multiple
subwoofers in a single home theater
system, Fathom IWSv2s incorporate a
"Master/Slave" signal distribution system.
This allows control of all the Fathom
IWSv2s in a system from a single "Master"
unit.
First, you will select one of the Fathom
IWSv2 subwoofers as the "Master" via its
upper "Input Mode" switch. Generally,
you will designate the Fathom IWSv2
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 IWSv2
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 IWSv2
designated as the master.
In the connection diagram at right,
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
IWSv2 designated as the master (not
both).
The remaining Fathom IWSv2s in the
system will be configured as "Slave" units
via their "Input Mode" switches. Using
balanced XLR cables, you will connect the
master Fathom IWSv2's "Output to Slave"
to the "Left or Mono" balanced input
of the first slave Fathom IWSv2. 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" Fathom IWSv2s and
between "Slave" Fathom IWSv2s are
via balanced XLR cables ONLY.
