1. Multi-Aperture Acoustic Diffraction Absorber - To reduce
destructive cabinet diffraction reflections, Blue Sky has developed
and incorporated into the baffle, the proprietary “Multi-Aperture
Acoustic Diffraction Absorber”, which helps to maintain smooth
on and off axis frequency response throughout the critical MF and
HF frequency range, without the need for a large wave guide or
horn.
2. Rotatable MF/HF plate - The mid frequency and high frequency
mounting plate can be rotated, so that the SAT 8 can operate
in both vertical and horizontal modes. To rotate the plate, the
twelve 4 mm hex head mounting screws around the plate need to
be removed. Please support the plate with your hand while you
do this. Once the screws are removed, the plate can easily be
removed by tilting the cabinet forward. After this has been done,
you can rotate the plate into the vertical or horizontal position.
Please ensure that the wires leading to the MF and HF drivers are
not being pinched, or interfered with in anyway, then re-instal the
plate, making sure to properly install and tighten all of the screws.
Below are three illustrations showing vertical, left horizontal and
right horizontal configurations.
3. 1/4 x 20 Mounting Inserts (located on the back and bottom of
the SAT 8) - Inserts / hole patterns, compatible with OmniMount®
Type 60 brackets are located on the back and on the bottom
of the SAT 8. These brackets are designed to support up to
60 pounds of weight when properly installed. Please visit www.
omnimount.com for more information, including detailed mounting
instructions. Please see page 13 [Technical Specifications &
Dimensions] for more information on insert locations. Also see
page 3 [Safety Instructions] item 17 “MOUNTING”.
5. Baffle Compensation - The SAT 8 includes four primary baffle
compensation settings, each of which reduces the MF to LF
“bump” that typically results from mounting a speaker in a baffle
wall. The amount of compensation needed is dependent on room
acoustics, along with the size and type of baffle wall. The only
way to accurately determine the amount of compensation needed
is to use a high resolution acoustic analyzer, such as MLSSA,
TEF, etc. For more information please see page 6 & 7 [A Tour
of the SAT 8 Amplifier & Electronics] and page 14 [Measurement
Data].
6. Individual Driver Level Controls - The SAT 8 includes +/- 3dB
of individual driver level adjustments, in 1dB increments. The
switches are additive, so in order to increase the level of a driver
by 3dB set both the 2 and 1dB switches to the UP position. We
highly recommend that you only change these settings, from
the “flat” position, as a last resort and only after doing proper
acoustics treatment of the room and ensuring proper placement
of the SAT 8. For more information please see page 6 & 7 [A Tour
of the SAT 8 Amplifier & Electronics] and page 14 [Measurement
Data].
7. Input gain and level controls - The SAT 8 includes both a
continuously variable input gain control and individual 10dB input
pads. This allows the user to adjust the gain from REF (200mv of
500 to 2kHz pink noise = 90dB SPL @ 1M) to -22dB. For more
information please see page 6 & 7 [A Tour of the SAT 8 Amplifier
& Electronics].
