CROWN® AMPLIFIER

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the SLS Crown Amplifier. The SLS Crown
amplifier has been preloaded with custom equalization to achieve
maximum performance from the SLS satellites and subwoofers. When
properly installed, this amplifier will provide you with years of outdoor
entertainment pleasure. To get the most out of your new system,
please read this manual thoroughly before you begin installation.

Amplifier Power Planning

The maximum number of satellites and subwoofers that can be used
in a system will depend on the quantity of amplifier’s available power.

Before beginning an installation use the chart below to calculate
the amplifier power your installation will require. Multiple amplifiers
may be required in large installations.

Input Connections
Unbalanced (Most Common)

To connect your audio source to the Crown Amplifier you will need
cables with RCA connectors on the source end and bare wire on the
SLS amplifier end. The Crown Amplifier channels are labeled CH1
and CH2. Both channels are identical so you can choose which
to use for right and left depending on your personal preference.

Attach the bare wires from your cable to the Phoenix style
connector provided in the amplifier box. Note the location of the
positive and ground wires on the Phoenix connector. You must run
a jumper wire from the ground terminal to the negative terminal;
see Figure 1.

Balanced

When using the SLS in a commercial installation it might be
necessary to connect the amplifier using balanced wiring.

Connect the wires from your source equipment to the Phoenix
connector. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the
wires to the Phoenix connector. If your source equipment uses XLR
connectors please confirm the polarity or pin out of your source
equipment before terminating the Phoenix connector. See figure 2

*The LS15SUB is a dual voice coil, single-stereo subwoofer.
Each voice coil draws 200 watts, for a combined total of 400
watts. The LS15SUB requires a 4-conductor wire to connect
both it’s left and right channel inputs.

Output Connections

Stereo 70 volt audio systems allow for speakers to be daisy chained
together. In a typical system with one zone of audio you simply run a
wire from the amplifier to the closest speaker then wire from there to
next speaker and so on.

Note: Sonance strongly recommends the use of 14 gauge or larger
direct burial grade wire.

Terminating The Wire

Attach the supplied spade connectors to the ends of your speaker
cables. Once the connectors are installed then connect the spades
to the output connectors on the amplifier. Once your connections
are finished place the supplied plastic cover over the connectors to
prevent a short circuit or shock hazard.

Caution: The amplifier should not be connected to AC power until all
connections are completed. High power 70 volt amplifiers present a
serious shock hazard. Do not connect speaker wires to the amplifier
until all other connections are completed.

DSP Preset Selection

The Crown CDi Series Amplifier you purchase from Sonance is

preloaded with 16 EQ presets. These presets allow you to tailor the

sound to your customer’s preference.

Also included in the preloaded software is equalization for each
of the SLS products to provide them with the flattest frequency
response possible in an outdoor system. To achieve this flat
response measurements were taken of typical systems all measured
in outdoor environments. A compensation curve is applied in the
software to correct for any response anomalies.

NOTE: When choosing the preset it is critical to pick the preset based
on the satellite and subwoofer model you are using in your system.

How to Select

1. Press the Select / Enter button on the front of the amplifier.

2. Press the Next / Down button until the word PRESET appears
on the display.

3. Press the Select / Enter button

4. Press the Next / Down or Prev / Up buttons until the preset
you desire is displayed

5. Press the Select / Enter button

6. Your chosen preset should now be displayed

Volume Control

In most systems the volume control knobs should be turned fully
clockwise to achieve proper level.

Included in the amplifier carton are volume control security covers
that replace the existing level-control knobs so the amplifier output
level cannot be changed. The knobs snap into the front panel.
