JBL GTS600 manuale d’uso

either subwoofer or component speakers in a bi-amplified system, or conventional full-range speakers in simpler systems. The GTS300 and 600 also include preamp-level outputs which can provide either full-range, high-pass or low-pass signal to drive additional amplifiers. This lets you build systems of virtually any design without requiring a separa[...]

2 before disconnecting the battery! 2. Run a minimum A WG #8 power cable complete with a 40 amp fuse (not included) for the GTS300 or an A WG #6 or A WG #4 cable with an 80 amp fuse for the GTS600 directly from the positive + 12V battery terminal to the disir ed amplifier location. Keep the fuse to within 6” of the battery terminal, and before th[...]

9. Fuse – 40 Amp A TC type fuse for the GTS300 and two 40 amp fuses for the GTS600. 10. Gain Control – Use this contr ol to adjust the input sensitivity of the amplifier . See the “Adjusting the Gain” section for tips on proper setup. 11. Preamp-Output Crossover Switch – This switch controls the built-in crossover that is directed to the [...]

3. System Design Using the GTS300 or GTS600: 3.1 Speaker Requirements When used in the non-bridged mode the GTS300 or GTS600 can easily drive 2 ohm speaker loads. When only one speaker is connected to each channel, virtually any conventional speaker may be used. When the GTS300 or GTS600 is in bridged mode, the combined impedance of the speaker (or[...]

components is extremely important for proper performance and long term reliability . All wiring connections should be made either by soldering with heatshrink tubing insulation or with high quality crimp type insulated connectors installed with a good crimping tool. Soldering crimp connections is recom- mended to further enhance connection reliabil[...]

5. Internal Adjustments Speaker -Level Input Impedance Adjustments The speaker level inputs of the GTS300 and GTS600 come factory set with 100K ohm input impe- dance. This will provide the lowest distortion operation from the speaker outputs of most modern head units by reducing the power the amplifier in the head unit must deliver to practically n[...]

Regardless of whether you build or buy it, the necessary resistor network has the following configuration: Custom “Chip” Construction • Each resistor in the package has the same value. • If you kvow the crossover frequency you want, you can calculate the resistor value necessary by solving the following equation: Resistor 2,500,000 V alue =[...]

6. Input Gain Adjustment Before operating the GTS300 or GTS600, recheck all wiring connections to make sure they are correct and secure. Be sure that a fuse (40 amp for GTS300 and two 40 amp fuses for the GTS600, not included) is installed in the +12V line near the battery . Reconnect the negative ground (-) terminal of the battery . Make sure that[...]

In Case of Difficulty Power -on light does not come on Power light is on, but no sound is heard from some or all of the speakers • Head unit not on; turn the head unit on. • Ground wire is disconnected or defective; check for continuity with an ohm-meter between the amplifier’ s ground terminal and a know chassis ground point. • Battery [...]
