SYSTEM CONNECTION DIAGRAM 3:
One Gotham in Mono to
Two-Channel Audio System
When connecting a Gotham (or
multiple Gothams) in mono to a two-
channel audio system you will use both
the "Left or Mono" and the "Right" inputs.
Summing circuitry in the Gotham's input
section will sum the stereo signals to
mono.
We strongly recommend that you
use a high-quality active crossover
to divide your preamplifi er's signals
prior to connection to the Gotham
and to the amplifi er driving your main
speakers. Th is will allow you to fi lter low
frequencies out of the signals driving
the main speakers, resulting in better
performance.
If you are not using an active crossover
and are comfortable running your main
speakers full-range, you can split your
preamplifi er's output signals using
appropriate Y-connectors in place of the
active crossover shown in the diagram.
Two connection types are available
for connecting the Gotham to your two-
channel audio system: balanced (XLR or
1/4-inch TRS connector) and unbalanced
(RCA-type connector). Balanced
connections provide superior noise
rejection and ensure proper grounding
between components. If your preamplifi er
or active crossover off ers balanced
outputs, we highly recommend that you
use them.
In the connection diagram at left ,
balanced connections are shown as solid
lines, unbalanced connections are shown
dotted. You will only use one of these
input connection methods (not both).
NOTE: If desired, additional Gothams
can be connected in "Slave" mode to the
Gotham connected as shown on this
diagram. See "Connection Diagram 2" on
page 23 for slave connection explanation.
