    The high level input is an unbalanced dual channel (stereo) input that uses a professional touch proof Neutrik Speakon connector. Signals for this input would normally be sourced from the left and right speaker terminals of the main system amplifier. The advantage of this method is that the IGx receives the same signal that is driving the main speakers and will retain characteristics of the main amplifier, aiding in integration between the IGx and main speakers.

    The BLACK wire is connected to either one of the BLACK - negative speaker terminals of your power amplifier. Now plug the neutrik connector into the high level input of the IGx. The Neutrik plug will fit only one way as it has a key. Next push the plug in then turn clockwise until you feel it latch.

    The IGx has a fully adjustable phase control to help reach phase alignment between the IGx and main loudspeakers. This control can help in setups where the distance between IGx and the listening position is different to that of the speakers and the listening position. Listen to the quality of the bass first with the phase in the 0 deg position and then slowly adjust towards the 180 deg position.

    A useful technique when looking for the optimum location is to place the IGx at the most common seating position. By working methodically through a range of frequencies, record the measurements around the perimeter of the room where the IGx might be located to ascertain the loudest signal. This process will assist in building up a picture of where the room is augmenting the output or not.

    Therefore your Wilson Benesch IGx should be cared for and protected at all times from high humidity, air pollutants and water. The IGx should not be left in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight will heat the surface finishes of the IGx and damage the finishing. During periods when the IGx will not be used, it is recommended that the grille is placed on the top to protect the diaphragm, surround and rhodium finishing on the core.
