ELEMENTS E 115 Sub D 1.1
6 Deploying Mid/High Units in
Distributed Setups
You can use the EF 45 base or the wall-mount Install Kit to set up mid/high
units elsewhere rather than stacking them on the subwoofer.
Heads up: HK Audio DSP CONTROL software lets you adjust separately the
delay times for the signals sent to the mid/high units and the subwoofer.
This way, you can place or mount the mid/high units in front of or behind
the subwoofer. Say you want to place the mid/high units two meters
behind the subwoofer because of space constraints: To do this, you would
have to delay the signal sent to the subwoofer by the time it takes to
travel those two meters. Once you set this delay time, you can store it as a
preset on the subwoofer, so the software does not have to be running and
connected to the subwoofer for this confi guration to work.
6.1 EF 45
The EF 45 base provides the pedestal for the mid/high units and the
speaker extension poles. Its retractable and extendible feet serve as a
stable, secure platform.
When setting up an ELEMENTS system with the EF 45 base, make sure
the feet are fully extended and locked in placed with the set-screws.
The base has an E-Connect coupler on top and two parallel Speakon
connectors on the rear. Connect mid/high units and speaker extension poles
to the E-Connect, and one of the two Speakon connectors to the Speakon
Mid/High Out on the E 115 Sub D.
Heads up: The EF 45 has two Speakon connectors to allow the signal to be
routed through when you have several mid/high units mounted side by side
on the EF 45/EP 1 or mounted with the Install Kit, for example, to cover very
wide rooms. In this case, make sure the preset selected on the subwoofer
corresponds to the number of mid/high units mounted on each stand or
Install Kit rather than the total number of connected mid/high units.
Heads up: The maximum number of mid/high units still applies in
this case. Do not connect more than three E 835s or six E 435s to the
subwoofer!
