3. APPLICATIONS
Fig. 2.2: The B2092A connector panel
3. APPLICATIONS
3.1 Connection
Using the mains cable included in the delivery, connect the B2092A
to the mains. To avoid hum noise, your loudspeakers and your
mixing console should all be connected to the same AC circuit.
Connect your loudspeaker system to the Monitor/Control Room
outputs of your mixing console. This way, you can adjust the
listening volume independently from your mixing consoles main
mix signal. The B2092A is an active loudspeaker. Therefore, you
will require no speaker cables. Instead, you will need to use
standard, commercially available two-core shielded XLR
microphone cables.
+Be sure t mute the signal s urces bef re y u
p wer the B2092A n.
There are different ways to integrate your B2092A into a
loudspeaker system. Some examples are shown here:
3.1.1 Stereo setup with subwoofer
Fig. 3.1: Use in a stereo system
LEFT IN and RIG T IN. These are the balanced inputs on
your B2092A. They are laid out as XLR connectors. Connect
them to the outputs on your mixing console or with your
preamplifier (see ch. 3.1).
LEFT OUT and RIG T OUT. These outputs carry the
signals for the main left and right loudspeakers. The signal
is tapped into post-crossover, i.e. without the bass segment
used for the subwoofer. Connect your active main
speakers here (with passive speakers, connect the power
amplifier inputs).
CENTER IN. Connect the center output of your surround
decoder or amplifier to this connector.
CENTER OUT. This output carries the signal for the central
loudspeaker of a surround system. If the SUB input is being
used, CENTER OUT also carries segments of the SUB signal
with frequencies higher than 80 Hz.
Connect the subwoofer or the LFE output of your surround
decoder/amplifier to SUB IN. Frequencies above 80 Hz are
reproduced on the CENTER output, while the B2092A
reproduces the frequencies under 80 Hz.
REMOTE CONTROL. The B2092A can be deactivated
using a footswitch. This way, you can perform an A/B
comparison with and without the subwoofer. If the B2092A
is deactivated, the crossover is also bypassed, so that the
main speaker now reproduce the entire frequency range.
Use the POWER switch to power up your B2092A. The
POWER switch should always be in the Off position when
you are about to connect the unit to the mains.
+Please n te: The POWER switch d es n t fully
disc nnect the unit fr m the mains. T disc nnect
the unit fr m the mains, pull ut the main c rd plug
r appliance c upler. When installing the pr duct,
make sure the plug r appliance c upler is readily
perable. Unplug the p wer c rd when the unit is
n t used f r pr l nged peri ds f time.
+Y ur B2092A and the c rresp nding l udspeaker
system sh uld always be the last nes t be turned
n and the first nes t be turned ff. This way, y u
av id speaker damage caused by l ud crackling
n ises during turning ther equipment in y ur
studi n r ff.
The mains connection is achieved via the standard IEC
connector. A matching power cord is included.
FUSE COMPARTMENT/VOLTAGE SELECTION: Before
plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure
you have selected the correct voltage. Faulty fuses must
be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without
exception. Some units feature a fuse compartment that
can be operated in two different positions, allowing
alternating between 230 V and 120 V. Attention: when
using the unit outside of Europe (running on 120 V), you
have to install a fuse with a higher rating.

7
TRUTH B2092A
3. APPLICATIONS
Connect the mixing console outputs to the B2092A inputs marked
LEFT and RIGHT . If you are using active monitors as main
loudspeakers (e.g. B2030A or B2031A), connect the left
loudspeaker to LEFT OUT, and connect the right loudspeaker to
RIGHT OUT. If using passive loudspeakers, connect LEFT OUT
and RIGHT OUT connectors to the power amplifier inputs.
The B2092A separates the bass segment of the audio signal for
the subwoofer and sends all frequencies above the 80-Hz mark
to the outputs for the main loudspeakers.
3.1.2 Multichannel surround setup
Fig. 3.2: Wiring example for a surround system
Surr und system with a dec der:
If you want to integrate the B2092A into a 5.1 loudspeaker system
that is coupled to a surround decoder (DTS® or
Dolby Digital®), connect the decoder LFE output to the SUB input
on your B2092A. The signals of a LFE channel (LFE = Low
Frequency Effect or Low Frequency Enhanced) may contain
frequencies of up to 120 Hz. However, since the B2092A does
not reproduce signals above the 80-Hz mark, the LFE signals are
passed onto the CENTER output and are then reproduced on the
center loudspeaker. This way, these important signal segments
are not lost. This is of particularly high value when using the
B2092A as a studio monitor, because this way undesirable noise
and distortion in this frequency range can be kept under control.
Wire the remaining active loudspeakers as shown in the
illustration.
Surr und system with ut dec der:
You can create a surround system even without using a surround
decoder, for example as a multichannel monitor system at your
sound studio or for specific surround installations. The surround
channels are reproduced using a single output of a mixing
console, a surround monitor controller or using the separately
recorded channels of a multitrack recorder.
Connect the output of the front left channel to the LEFT IN
connector on the B2092A connect the output of the front right
channel to the RIGHT IN connector. Connect the center channel
output to CENTER IN. If the surround mix has no separate
subwoofer channel, the signal for this channel is created using
the bass segments of the left, center and right channels.
Now, connect the left (active) front loudspeaker to LEFT OUT.
Connect CENTER OUT to the center speaker and RIGHT OUT to
the right speaker. All additional surround speakers (Left Surround
= LS, Right Surround = RS) are connected directly to the
corresponding outputs on your system.
If you wish to use passive loudspeakers, connect the individual
surround channels of your system to the power amp inputs of
the corresponding surround speakers.
3.2 Input signal level ad ustment
If the loudspeaker system is correctly wired and powered on,
you can bring up the control room output of your mixing console
or the volume controls of your decoder. If a signal source is
connected, you can hear your B2092A for the first time. To
obtain well-balanced sound, you only have to adjust the input
sensitivity of your subwoofer. The default INPUT TRIM control
setting is 0 dB. To adjust the signal level to the main speakers,
values from -6 dB to +6 dB can be selected using this control.
LIMIT LED lights up as soon as one of the internal overload
circuits springs into action. By the way, no damage is caused to
your B2092A if the LIMIT LED briefly lights up during operation
(when signal peaks occur). However, you should try to avoid
the LIMIT LED lighting up for prolonged periods of time (in that
case, after a while the thermal fuse is activated, and the internal
power amplifier is switched off for a while). This is a sure sign
that your B2092A is overloading. Lower the input signal level
either on your mixing console or by using the INPUT TRIM control.
+The B2092A is capable f pr ducing high v lume
levels. Y u sh uld mix y ur rec rdings at m derate
levels t av id listening fatigue and hearing
impairment.
3.3 Correct placement
Bass frequencies, due to their long wavelengths and undirected
(spherical) dispersion pattern, can not be physically located as
a sound source. Many people take this to mean that you can
place the subwoofer wherever you want. However, this is not
true. Placement of the subwoofer in a room has an important
influence on the overall loudspeaker sound. Even minor changes
in the placement of the subwoofer can make a big difference.
Each room has its own sonic characteristics, which differ based
on room volume and the length ratio of the walls to the ceiling.
Even the material and the composition of surfaces play a big
role. Specific acoustic characteristic result from these influences,
and they must be taken into consideration.
Certain frequencies sometimes create stationary waves
between parallel room walls. The frequencies of these stationary
walls correspond to the rooms resonance, and are determined
by the rooms dimensions. If the room resonance is influenced
by the subwoofer, this frequency gets especially loud in certain
places in the room, while it cannot be heard at all in othersthis
is caused by stationary increases and cancellations. This
phenomenon is especially pronounced with low frequencies,
and can be rather unpleasant. We recommend first finding the
position in which the subwoofer achieves the best results without

8
TRUTH B2092A
making any changes, and then using the controls to finetune the
settings, creating the best results possible. Therefore, first set
the controls to the neutral position labeled TYPICAL, i.e. set PHASE
to 0° and ROOM COMPENSATION to 0 dB.
Start by placing the subwoofer roughly in the stereo center of
your loudspeaker system. If the frequency response is not well-
balanced, move the subwoofer to the left or to the right, so that
it excites different room modes. Also, experiment with different
distances to the wall and to the rooms corners. If you place the
subwoofer in a corner, the bass level will be increased, changing
the overall settings. When selecting a location for your
subwoofer, make sure that the openings in the back of your
B2092A are not covered.
The stereo/front loudspeakers should be placed symmetrically
with the same distance to the listening position. Correct placement
of near-field monitors is explained in detail in the TRUTH B2030A/
B2031A users manual and in the TRUTH B2030P/B2031P
handbook.
3.3.1 Adjusting roo co pensation
Fig. 3.3: Room compensation
After you have found an optimal physical location for your
B2092A speakers, use the switches in the back to finetune your
settings.
The ROOM COMPENSATION switch lets you lower the bass
range in 2-dB increments. If your B2092A is located near a wall
or in a room corner, the sound is reflected back from the boundary
and superimposed on the directly dispersed sound. This results
in a higher volume, which can be neutralized using the ROOM
COMPENSATION function.
3.3.2 Phase adjust ent
Fig. 3.4: Effect of phase differences on the frequency
response
When installing the B2092A, a phasing deviation between the
subwoofer and main speaker signals may occur. This deviation
(phase difference) is easily audible in the sound. Improper
phasing causes a dip at the crossover point. Phasing differences
occur when the distance between the subwoofer and the
audience varies from the distance between the main speakers
and the audiencehence having a varying delay time. This can
not always be avoided. Using the PHASE function, your B2092A
can perform a phase adjustment electronically. Figure 3.5 shows
the possible results of phasing differences on the frequency-
response curve.
For optimal system calibration, we recommend using a Real Time
Analyzer, e.g. the BEHRINGER ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496
coupled to a ECM8000 measurement microphone. If no such
equipment is available, you can try making an adjustment using
an 80-Hz sinus tone:
Run the sinus tone simultaneously on the subwoofer and the
front loudspeakers. Set the PHASE switch to the position in
which the sound with the highest volume is being reproduced.
4. AUDIO CONNECTIONS
If you are working with the DEQ2496, place the measurement
microphone in your audience at the height of a human ear. Run
pink noise through the speakers. Keep an eye on the 80-Hz
range on the frequency display. If you notice a dip in this
frequency range, put the PHASE switch into a position that causes
a straight frequency response curve, as shown in
fig. 3.4 (the graphic on the left).
4. AUDIO CONNECTIONS
The audio connectors of your B2092A are electronically
balanced and ensure automatic hum and noise reduction.
Of course, you can also connect equipment featuring unbalanced
outputs. To this end, use either mono jacks or connect ring and
sleeve of the stereo jack (bridge pin 1 and pin 3 when using XLR
connectors).
+Please ensure that nly qualified pers nnel install
and perate the B2092A. During installati n and
perati n the user must have sufficient electrical
c ntact t earth. Electr static charges might affect
the perati n f the unit.
