  • Page 19: Power Connections

    Power Connections The BOOM-1 has a switching power supply that allows the unit to be used with AC power service anywhere in the world. The AC power inlet uses a standard, detachable IEC power connector. Always use the IEC power connector with the plug designed for your local power service; avoid using adapters.
  • Page 20: Line-Level Output

    Line-Level Output The BOOM-1 provides a mono, balanced XLR line-level audio output which makes it easy to connect the unit’s processed audio signal to an external amplifier. The L is useful when you want to use an array of tactile transducers in a large area such as a stage floor, powered by one or more external amplifiers.

    BOOM-1 output to be fine tuned to suit the specific type and model of tactile device as well as the mounting method that you are using. Drum thrones, keyboard seats, platforms, performance stools, etc., all have natural resonant frequencies that can enhance and/or detract from the response of a given tactile transducer device connected to it.
  • Page 22: Polarity

    Polarity Changing the polarity of the audio from BOOM-1 can be useful when you need to compensate for the orientation of a tactile transducer mounted on a platform, stool, etc. Use the p DIP switch in the up oLarIty position to invert the polarity of the processed audio signal sent to both the Transducer Out and Line Out.

    This system example uses a device with a dedicated mono line-level audio output such as a mixing console’s Aux send or the Aviom A360 Personal Mixer’s Mono Mix Out connected to the BOOM-1’s line- level input on the rear panel. If your mono line-level audio source has a balanced TRS 1/4-inch connector, use a TRS-to-XLR male adapter cable.
