CONNECTIONS.
"Output to Slave" Connector
If you are operating more than one Gotham v2 subwoofer in one home theater
system, you will designate one Gotham v2 as the Master (see page 20), and then
feed signal from it to the remaining "Slave" Gotham v2s via this balanced XLR
output. The "Output to Slave" cable can be connected to the "Left or Mono"
balanced XLR input on the next Gotham v2. When a Gotham v2 is in "Slave"
Mode, its "Output to Slave" connection can be used to pass signal to further
Gotham v2s operating in "Slave" mode.
The "Output to Slave" connector is designed to be used as follows:
1) From the "Master" Gotham v2's "Output to Slave" connector to the first
"Slave" Gotham v2's "Left or Mono" XLR balanced input.
2) From the first "Slave" Gotham v2's "Output to Slave" connector to the
second "Slave" Gotham v2's "Left or Mono" XLR balanced input.
3) From the second "Slave" Gotham v2's "Output to Slave" connector to the
third "Slave" Gotham v2's "Left or Mono" XLR balanced input. Etc, etc. (up
to ten Gotham v2s may be connected in this configuration). Appropriate
balanced cables with XLR terminations are available from your JL Audio
dealer and are not included with the Gotham v2.
Technical Notes:
• The "Output to Slave" signal carries any signal processing selected on
the Master Gotham v2 (including the Master Level setting and D.A.R.O.
processing) to further Gotham v2s operating in "Slave" mode.
• From Gotham v2s operating in "Slave" mode, the "Output to Slave" signal is
an exact, buffered replica of the balanced input signal, making this method
of signal distribution preferable to using Y-adapters or splitters.
• Use only shielded, connection cables with high quality XLR connectors for
Master/Slave connection. Never use unbalanced cables with adaptors.
IEC-Style AC Power Connector
The IEC-style AC cord receptacle receives the heavy-gauge, 6 ft. (1.8 m)
long, power cord included with your Gotham v2 subwoofer. Gotham v2s sold in
different parts of the world are configured for each market's electrical system and
include appropriate plugs on their power cords. Please note the voltage markings
next to the AC connector and make sure you are only powering your Gotham v2
from a receptacle that matches these markings. Do not use any AC power cord
other than the one supplied with the Gotham v2. For information about the Main
Fuse Holder, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
The Gotham v2 subwoofer is a very powerful device and can draw a lot of
current. If too many components are connected with a Gotham v2 subwoofer to
one electrical outlet, you risk tripping a household circuit breaker during very
demanding program material. If this happens, split the Gotham v2 and other
components between two AC electrical circuits. For maximum performance,
dedicate an AC circuit to each Gotham v2. We suggest maximum circuit breaker
sizes of 120 VAC / 20 amps or 230 VAC / 10 amps.
