Description
The JBL Synthesis® 16-channel Fully-Balanced Digital Equalizer – SDEC-5500
The SDEC-5500 has comprised of one SDEC-5500P plus either an SDEC-5500X or a combination of SDA Series amplifiers with BLU-Link digital connection capability. The BLU-Link digital connection carries all necessary signals on a single Cat.5e cable. The correct Synthesis Interconnect kit includes all the necessary connections for using the SDEC in the Synthesis system. Please contact JBL Synthesis Technical Support at 888-691-4171 (the USA only) for more information. The SDEC-5500 is capable of processing up to 12 inputs and up to 22 outputs. Depending on the type and number of outputs will determine which connections you should use to connect the SDEC to the rest of your system

Connection Notes
The SDEC-5500 can process two outputs for the front left, center, and right channels to output to an amplifier for a bi-amplified system. There are discrete outputs for a single high-frequency horn speaker and low-frequency speakers. These outputs can only be used with speakers designed to be used with an external crossover. Do not use the SDEC Digital Equalizer for any speakers other than the recommended Synthesis speaker packages. There are three pairs of outputs for side speakers. If you are only using one pair of side speakers, then you may leave the second or third pair of outputs with no connection. If you are using a second or third pair of side speakers, then you should connect the pair closest to the front speakers to Output 1, the pair in the middle of the room to Output 2, and the pair closest to the rear speakers to Output 3. The third pair of outputs may be switched to become the rear height pair when using the A.R.C.O.S. software. There are up to four subwoofer outputs. You should use them in pairs so that you either have two or four. When SDA Series amplifiers are used in a system with a BLU-Link connection from the SDP-5500P instead of the SDEC-5500X you must carefully follow the installation and connection diagrams contained in the SDA Series amplifier’s Setup and Installation Manual.
