This cable carries (+) and (-) signal information for Left and Right channels, audio ground and 15Vdc to operate the Soundstream BLT4. Flexible Input Sensitivity - The BLT4 is designed for optimum performance with a 5 volt balanced signal level. Any head unit having an unbalanced signal output level from 250 mV to 5.0 V can be used to obtain the 5 Volt balanced signal. -

Page 10: Installation Step
INSTALLATION STEP 1 SELECTING THE CROSSOVER MODES Amplifier Location The DaVinci amplifier incorporates a sophisticated, fully adjustable electronic crossover for each of its three pairs of channels and subwoofer channel. The DaVinci amplifier can drive a complete system without need of an outboard electronic crossover. 1-LOW PASS The subwoofer channel is designed to operate in low pass or full range. -
Page 11: Selecting Input Modes
Channel 1,2,3& 4 inputs.included with the DaVinci amplifier is the Soundstream Limited Edition BLT4, which drives two pairs of balanced audio lines. This is perfect for front / rear fading capabilities, or as a subwoofer level controller. -
Page 12: Wiring P
Depending on your application, you may use one to four DIN audio balanced signal cables to drive your DaVinci amplifier. Use the cables supplied with the BLT4 Balanced Line Transmitter, or see your local Soundstream dealer. SPEAKER CABLE The DaVinci will accept up to 8 gauge (4 gauge on sub channel) speaker cable. Use a high quality,... -
Page 13: Installation And Mounting
INSTALLATION STEP 4 INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING 1. AMPLIFIER LOCATION The DaVinci amplifier employs highly efficient circuitry, an internal heat sink and fan cooling system to maintain lower operating temperatures. Make sure that no debris will be able to fall through the top plate of the DaVinci. When mounting the amplifier, it should be securely mounted to either a panel in the vehicle or an amp board / rack that is securely mounted to the vehicle. -
Page 14: Crossover Adjustments
INSTALLATION STEP 5 CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENTS The crossover in the Davinci is very flexible, allowing for high pass, bandpass and low pass filters to be set independently of each other. In most car audio installations, there is a tendency for a “midbass boom.” Because of their interior dimensions, most cars will resonate or ring at these midbass frequencies. -
Page 15: Level Setting
LED labeled “REFERENCE” on the top of the BLT4 begins to blink. This calibrates the input sensitivity of the BLT4 to the level of your head unit. (NOTE: To set the BLT4 level, Soundstream recommends using the Autosound 2000 Compact Disc #102 Track 27, 1kHz 0dB “ all bits high” tone. If this CD is not available, a similar tone from a test CD can be used, or an extremely dynamic CD with a high crest factor. -

Now, rotate frequency control slightly backwards. This serves the purpose of removing the “subsonic” bass energy. Soundstream’s LSE.Q contains the same type of circuit with the added benefit of infinite adjustability. Our ”‘Q” and “Hz” control can provide virtually any combination of boost and cut to suit your designs. -
