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 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 worlds greatest concert halls and theaters into your home.  
To obtain the best performance from this Digital Equalizer, please be sure to completely read this users 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? How can you be sure all the hardware is  
compatible?” These were the big questions fifteen years ago; Synthesis was the answer. Once again, JBL Synthesis  
moves beyond the competition and is the answer. The JBL Synthesis Digital Equalizer (SDEC) is a (up to) 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 our 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, usually of 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.  
FEATURES  
Up to 120 bands of fully parametric EQ  
Built-in crossover for bi-amp outputs (SDEC-4000 only)  
Delay adjustment for each output

9 COBRANET CONNECTORS  
Primary/Secondary: The SDEC-4000P and SDEC-4000X use CobraNet to send and receive audio data. During normal  
operation, the Primary port only receives audio data from and transmits audio data to the network. Should the  
Primary port or connection fail, the CobraNet module automatically switches to receive from and transmit with the  
Secondary port. This is an optional connection.  
Please Note: When using the SDEC-4000, you must connect the two units through the CobraNet connection, using  
a Cat. 5e crossover cable.  
A RS-232  
Serial port for connection of external calibration and configuration equipment not used at this time.  
B ETHERNET  
The main connection for the proprietary system control network, and for third-party Ethernet control. The SDEC-4000  
must be connected to an Ethernet hub during the calibration process. The SDEC-3000 can be connected directly to  
a PC using a crossover Cat. 5 Ethernet cable.  
C BUDDYLINK/48K  
This connection is not supported at this time.  
D CONTROL INPUTS  
The SDEC-4000 can be configured for full-range or bi-amp operation by using these control inputs. The SDEC-3000  
does not need or use this connection.  
E I/O CARD POSITIONS A, B, C AND D  
These connectors provide the balanced and unbalanced connections for the I/O card fitted in the four card  
slots in a JBL Synthesis SDEC device. A green LED next to the slot assignment letter A, B, C or D indicates that an  
Input card is fitted and an amber LED when an output card is fitted. The analog connections are balanced/unbal-  
anced, on Phoenix/Combicon connectors. Depending on which model and configuration you have purchased will  
determine which I/O card has been installed at the factory. Please make sure to order the correct wiring kit, either  
S3000IC or S4000IC, with your system.

INPUT/OUTPUT ASSIGNMENTS  
SDEC-4000  
The SDEC-4000 comprises two units. Both the SDEC-4000P and SDEC-4000X 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.  
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 for use with SDEC-3000 and S4000IC for use with SDEC-4000. Retrofit kits  
are also available. Please contact JBL Synthesis Technical Support for more information at (888) 691-4171 (USA only).  
The SDEC-4000 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-4000 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 two pairs of outputs for side speakers. If you are only using one pair of side speakers you may leave  
the second pair of outputs with no connection. If you are using a second pair of side speakers, you should connect  
the pair closest to the front speakers to output 1 and the pair closest to the rear speakers to output 2.  
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-4000P and the SDEC-4000X using the CobraNet connection, using an Ethernet  
network crossover 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-40 processor, make sure the subwoofer (in speaker setup) is set to Mono output and connect  
to the Subwoofer Left output.
