Audio connections: The audio source is connected to the left and right inputs of the SB10
Controller. The left and right outputs of the controller are connected to the inputs of the left
and right monitors. Connect the SB10 Controller to the SB10 with as short a length of good
quality speaker cable as is practical. It is important that speaker cables are twisted, shielded
or at least run closely paralleled to reduce loops conducting RF currents.
When powering up an audio system it is good practice to start at the source, e.g. 1
equipment, 2
order should be adopted.
Getting started: The following are approximate settings for combinations of the SB10 with
S6, S7, and S8. The overall gain structure will depend on your source levels. You should set
the full range monitor gains so as you are comfortable with the maximum level achievable
from your source. You can then bring the SB10 gain up to match

The above settings are for the highest sonic performance of the system. Raising the
crossover frequency would result in increased head room in the bass driver and allow for
higher maximum system spl. However the response would not be as smooth, the imaging not
so precise.
Diagram shows asymetric room layout. The system is not set up centrally
in the room, therefore the SB10 has been placed in the middle between the
left and right monitors, but this still allows the SB10 to be away
from the room's centre.
