My First Topic-What to Do

1oldguy · « **Reply #120 on:** 13 Aug 2009, 12:43 am »

Wondering if anyone here as the 802D? from B&W.The reason i ask is because on the back of the speakers there is a round piece of paper saying to remove before use.The thing is, am I just to tear it off or do I need to unscrew something and then remove?This is located on the back of the marlin head.If I sound like a noob is because I am.

HI Andy

My digital camera needs repair.I just read the manual and it's not covered in there.

1oldguy · « **Reply #123 on:** 14 Aug 2009, 12:06 am »

Well the speakers are ready.Now i am trying to figure out how to hook it all up.

Deleted, cross posting.

Ok......

Start with "source items"

So CD player link that to the preamp, then link to the left/right amp then to ONE speaker per amp channel......

Thats the basic 2ch set up.....

If you post the lit list for those items I will try and help you, its 1am in the uK I really need to sleep but will help if I can...............

Do you have a camera on your phone maybe?

As it says remove it, then I DOUBT you just tear it off......

If it is over the speaker terminals then these usually unscrew for the part away from the speaker.

Dont think me rude here but some of your questions make me feel that you should get the shop to set this ALL up for you, or at least get a friend round who might know more..........

Best to do it once and do it right, Andy.

Good point Mad, my audio guy set up my speakers

Hi Andy....It's stating to make more sense to me now.Your right about getting the shop I think.After I have a read here for the online manual I will have a better idea.At least I would hope so.After I get it hooked up I'll post here what I've done before powering up the mothership.lol

I don't want to keep you up.If your on tomorrow maybe you can help when you've had a good night's sleep.
I do thank you for you willingness to help an old guy.lol

Night Andy

Hope the following is of some help - I need to sleep.......

CD to Pre Amp
Analogue UNBALANCED uses Phono to Phono stereo lead
Analogue BALANCED uses XLR to XLR lead
Digital could use Optical - Fibre optic cable : Coaxial - Phono to Phono lead (onelead only) : AES/EBU - XLR to XLR lead

Pre Amp to Amp
UNBALANCED Phono to Phono
BALANCED XLR to XLR

Amp to speaker
2 core speaker cable, might have Spade , 4mm banana, bare end, Speakon connectors on ends of cables.

Hope thats of general help to you,

Not sure which connector is called what - Please google or ask others,

I must sleep,

Andy.

ALWAYS fit the POWER CABLES LAST.

Power up the CD player FIRST, then pre amp - VOLUME TO ZERO, then amp.

Just connect one amp and speaker to start.

That's me out.........

Well I've unboxed another 7B,don't think i could ever get tired of that.Still have 3 of them tucked away for a later date,unopened of course.

Just waiting for my brother to give me a hand to unbox the other 802D.
So close.

Well after all day I finally will get to hook it up.Seeing all the gear out I can see why this so addictive.lol

Hi James

Wondering if I should leave the amp at 29DB or the lower setting?Considering I'm using the XLR or does that even make a difference?

Al was wondering since I have the pro version would I be correct in assuming it's set to the max?

Thanks
Brandon

Hi James

Been looking and oddly enough I don't seem to have the option of switching between 1 or 2 volts?
I do see an option between either 29db or 23 db.
I take it I do choose the balanced since I'm using XLR

Given your speakers use the 29dB and the Balanced.

Thanks James

I kind of figured that's what I should do.But being new to this I figured why not ask.
It is interesting tough of the subtle difference between the pro and C series.
Back to it I go.
