These were the big questions fifteen years ago; Synthesis was the answer. Once again, JBL Synthesis moves beyond the competition and is the answer. The JBL Synthesis Digital Equalizer (SDEC) is a (up to) 12-channel- in/20-channel-out 24-bit, 96kHz digital audio signal processor. Unlike nearly all other audio components on the market, the SDEC has been designed to work specifically with other Synthesis System components.
Illuminated – The Signal LED will light for each channel of a fitted Input or Output card when the signal reaches or exceeds the signal threshold of –20dB. HANTOM This feature is currently not supported by JBL Synthesis (lights to indicate +48V phantom power has been activated for the relevant channel of a fitted input card). 1 USB This is currently for future use and is not supported.
These connectors provide the balanced and unbalanced connections for the I/O card fitted in the four card slots in a JBL Synthesis SDEC device. A green LED next to the slot assignment letter A, B, C or D indicates that an Input card is fitted and an amber LED when an output card is fitted.
The correct Synthesis Interconnect kit includes all the necessary connections for using the SDEC in the Synthesis system. Please be sure to order the S3000IC for use with SDEC-3000 and S4000IC for use with SDEC-4000. Retrofit kits are also available. Please contact JBL Synthesis Technical Support for more information at (888) 691-4171 (USA only). ONNECTION OTES •...
