Connecting External Speakers - SMART Board 7000 series Installation And Maintenance Manual

CHAPTER 3
CONNECTING POWER AND DEVICES
SMART recommends the following varieties of cable:
Cable type Maximum length
HDMI 23' (7 m)
Display Port 23' (7 m)
VGA 23' (7 m)
Stereo 3.5 mm 20' (6 m)
USB 16' (5 m)
Using cables that exceed these maximum lengths may produce unexpected results, degraded
picture quality or degraded USB connectivity.
SMART software should be installed on any computers users connect to the display. For
information on installing SMART software and viewing a connected computer's input on the
display, see the SMART Board 7000 and 7000 Pro series interactive displays user's guide
(smarttech.com/kb/171163).

Connecting external speakers

The display includes two 10 W speakers, which are designed to provide sound at the front of a
room. You might want to connect the SBA-100 projection audio system (see SBA-100 projection
audio system on page 7) or third-party external active speakers if you're providing sound in a larger
space.
You can connect external speakers to the display using the stereo
3.5 mm out connector (pictured). Alternatively, you can connect
external speakers directly to a room computer.

The performance of cables longer than 23' (7 m) is highly dependent on the cable's quality.

Recommendation
1
Use only certified HDMI cables that have been
tested to support the performance standard you
require.
Use Display Port 1.2 compliant or better cables.
Use VGA cables with all pins in their connectors fully
populated and wired.
[N/A]
Use a USB extender if the distance between the
computer and the display is greater than 16' (5 m).
For more information, see USB extenders on page 8.
