SAM1HF
SAM2LF C
AND
The different configurations of speaker arrays are accomplished by combining one (1) SAM1HF module with at least
one (1) and up to four (4) SAM2LF modules. The configuration of your system depends greatly on room size and at
what SPL the system will be used. The different array configurations can be used to customize individual speakers
for any application in any system. Typical uses would be as front left, front right and center channel speakers, but
they can also be used as direct radiating surround speakers. A basic speaker array will consist of one (1) SAM1HF
and one (1) SAM2LF as a three-way bi-amped speaker with an active crossover located in the Synthesis Digital EQ
or as a three-way passive speaker when used with the SAM12x crossover.
NOTE: The SAM1HF is the high-frequency horn module, and the SAM2LF is the low-frequency woofer
module; you must use at least one of each for a complete speaker system.
The modules are physically connected to each other by using the included connecting bars and hand-tightened knobs
to mount the modules together. There are multiple mounting points, and several bars should be used to maintain a
rigid connection. Be careful while constructing the module array, as it may become unsteady and tip over.
Make sure the completed speakers are securely mounted and will not fall over, as they may be very heavy
and could cause serious damage if not properly handled.
Any module can be connected to any other module. We have identified four recommended and supported config-
urations. For all configurations, you should observe the following mounting guidelines:

OUNTING
1. When mounting the SAM1HF to the SAM2LF with the SAM1HF on top, be sure to keep the modules from
separating while you tighten the bars. This can be accomplished simply by keeping downward pressure on the
front of the module while tightening the screws from the rear.
2. Use at least two mounting bars, running from the top to the bottom of the modules.
3. Use at least four hand screws, two on each module, with four on each module preferred.

OUNTING
1. When mounting the SAM1HF to the SAM2LF, it is important to keep the top of the modules aligned. This is
accomplished by turning the modules upside down before you begin mounting them together. Once you have
finished, be sure to turn them right side up.
2. Use at least two mounting bars, running from the top to the bottom of the modules.
3. Use at least four hand screws, two on each module, with four on each module preferred.
4. The bars will not extend beyond two modules. If you are connecting three across (as in a dual-woofer module
design), use two sets of bars, each connected to the center module.

1. Attach the vertical modules first.
2. Attach the horizontal modules second.
3. Overlap the mounting bars so that they form a stiff construction.

1. Purchase the correct trim panels for your configuration.
2. The trim panels will act as both the cosmetic and structural finish of the speaker.
