INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES  
INTRODUCTION  
®
Congratulations on your purchase of this JBL Synthesis SDEC Digital Equalizer! You have chosen a product that  
embodies the best of what JBL, Inc., has discovered about the emotional power of audio reproduction in more than  
sixty years of preeminence in the field. This Digital Equalizer has been designed and crafted to provide the user  
with a high level of sonic performance. Special attention has been paid to minimize the number of components in  
the audio signal path, resulting in extremely low distortion, excellent transient response and wide dynamic range.  
®
Synthesis products set new benchmarks in audio technology, and, when used as part of a complete JBL Synthesis  
system, will bring the ambience and acoustics of some of the world’s greatest concert halls and theaters into your  
home. To obtain the best performance from this Digital Equalizer, please be sure to completely read this user’s  
manual and use the SDEC Digital Equalizer only in accordance with its instructions.  
From its inception, JBL Synthesis has been the answer to the questions: “How do you build a state-of-the-art home  
theater system and make it sound superb in every installation?” and “How can you be sure all the hardware is compatible?”  
These were the big questions Synthesis components answered fifteen years ago. Today, JBL Synthesis systems  
move beyond the competition yet again. The JBL Synthesis Digital Equalizer (SDEC) is a 12-channel-in/20-channel-out  
24-bit, 96kHz digital audio signal processor. Unlike nearly all other audio components on the market, the SDEC has  
been designed to work specifically with other Synthesis system components. This narrow application focus has  
allowed JBL engineers to design a product with far fewer compromises, resulting in unequalled system performance.  
By reading the following pages, you will become familiar with the technological features and unique capabilities  
incorporated within the SDEC and available nowhere else.  
Until now, anything beyond the most basic equalization has been impossible without expensive acoustical instru-  
mentation and the knowledge to use it. This is why, traditionally, equalizers have been general-purpose devices,  
designed to be applicable to any audio system, and usually doing more harm than good! Add to this situation the  
fact that equalizing a speaker system by ear is truly a futile exercise. This helps to account for the generally low  
acceptance of equalizers outside of professional audio applications.

INPUT/OUTPUT ASSIGNMENTS  
SDEC-4500  
The SDEC-4500 comprises two units. Both the SDEC-4500P and SDEC-4500X are required for the digital equalizer  
to function properly in the Synthesis system. Please be sure to connect both units correctly according to the  
Input/Output Assignments chart on page 9.  
The correct Synthesis Interconnect kit includes all the necessary connections for using the SDEC in the Synthesis  
system. Please be sure to order the S3000IC or S3000XLRIC for use with SDEC-3000 and S4000IC or S4500XLRIC for use  
with SDEC-4500. Retrofit kits are also available. Please contact JBL Synthesis Technical Support for more information  
at 516.594.0300 (USA only).  
The SDEC-4500 is capable of processing up to 12 inputs and up to 20 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. Please  
refer to the connection diagram for more information.  
CONNECTION NOTES  
• The SDEC-4500 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 (SAM1HF) and  
low-frequency (SAM2LF) 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.  
• There are up to four subwoofer outputs. You should use them in pairs so that you either have two or four  
subwoofers. All Synthesis systems are designed for at least two subwoofers.  
• You must connect the SDEC-4500P and the SDEC-4500X using the BlueLink connection, using an Ethernet  
network patch cable, Cat. 5e minimum.  
• The two units must be connected to an Ethernet network hub for the final calibration process. Both units need  
to be connected to the same hub or router, and an open port needs to be accessible for the calibration computer.  
• When using the SDP-40HD processor, make sure the subwoofer (in speaker setup) is set to Mono output and con-  
nect to the Subwoofer Left output.  
SELECTING FULL-RANGE OR BI-AMPED CONFIGURATION  
There are two ways to select between bi-amped or full-range LCR operation.  
Please note: Only Method One can be done on the control ports (without a computer). Method Two requires a computer running  
the appropriate configuration software. Please contact JBL Synthesis Technical Support for more information.  
METHOD ONE: WITHOUT A COMPUTER  
Full Range: With the SDEC powered up and running,  
connect Control Input 1 to “C” (common) on the back of  
Bi-Amped: With the SDEC powered up and running,  
connect Control Input 2 to “C” for bi-amped. This is  
the unit for full range. This  
is a temporary contact and  
should not be left in place.  
a temporary connection  
and should not be  
left in place.  
METHOD TWO: WITH A COMPUTER  
While online and in Operate mode from within London Architect or when using the Java remote, select the appropriate  
speaker configuration as your installation requires. The software will automatically configure the outputs correctly.
