not be tightly enclosed. Some airflow is desired.
Connecting to A/C Power
Please check the Data Plate on the right rear of
the crossover to verify power requirements agree
with your location. Plug the IEC-320 C14 end of the
power cord into the BAX-1, then plug the other end
into an approved and grounded A/C receptacle.
Connecting to an Audio System
Though the BAX-1 is a DSP driven digital audio
component, all audio connections are analog only.
This is to accommodate a broad range of pre-amps
and front-ends while operating the digital circuitry
at optimum conditions. Contrary to some beliefs,
converting analog to digital inside the crossover
does not create a compromised sonic experience.
From your stereo preamplifier, connect the left and
right outputs to the BAX-1 left and right inputs using
good quality balanced XLR cable. The left and right
channels each have 3 outputs marked low mid
and high. The low output for each channel goes to
the amplifier designated to drive the bass section,

mid should drive the midrange, and high drives the
tweeters of your speakers.

Choosing Amplification
Bryston Active Loudspeakers have been optimized
for use with Bryston amplifiers however other brand
amplifiers may be suitable as well. Each amplifier
used must have the same gain as there is currently
no provision to compensate for mis-matched
amplifiers within the DSP.
