prevent any loss of sound quality. With an input impedance of 25 kohms, it is posible to connect
a maximum of 30 BB35 units to a 600 ohms source like a mixing console. If more than 30
units need to be connected to a single source, a seperate signal driver must be used.
The Programmable Monitor System (PMS6000) has a number of features, including:
Dual channel Class D operating amplifier.
Switched mode power supply.
Dual auto-negotiation RJ45 ports.
Two channel AES/EBU input + buffered link.
Single channel analog input + link
Soft start to reduce power on inrush current.
Temperature, DC, HF and short circuit protection.

Soft Start
The soft start circuit is active when the BB35 is turned on. The mains inrush current, which
normally is in excess of 60 A is limited to a safe value. However, take care not to switch on
too many DS20 amplifiers at the same time, or you risk that the main fuses of your distribution
may trip.
Temperature, DC, HF and Short Circuit Protection
The amplifier and the loudspeakers are protected against all possible damages.

exact voltages are stated at the frontpanel of the PMS6000. Switching between mains voltages
needs to done by selecting a jumper between position X1 and X3 on PCB BB3501.
Connecting to the wrong voltage is dangerous and may damage the PMS6000. Always ensure
that you use a correctly grounded power supply.
It is advisable to connect each unit seperately to the nearest main power supply socket.
The maximum advice for linked Blue Boxes using the AC out link on a 16A mains supply is 2

CONNECTIONS
3.2 Audio Connections
The XLR connectors (analog audio, AES/EBU in and link) of the BB35 are wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield
Pin 2 = normal phase (signal+ or “hot”)
Pin 3 = inverted phase (signal- or “cold”)
Always use high quality XLR connectors and shielded signal cables. Using the signal link
connectors, up to 30 BB35s can be linked without a problem. If more than 30 BB35s need to
be interconnected, a separate signal driver should be used.
The input stages are electronically balanced. To make optimum use of the balanced input stages
even in unbalanced situations, use balanced signal cables and connect pin 3 to pin 1 at the
output of the preceding equipment. If this is not possible, connect pin 3 to pin 1 at the input of
the BB35.

The digital input of the BB35 offers two input channels on one electronically balanced XLR-
connector and will accept AES/EBU and S/PDIF input signals of 16 to 24 bit 44.1, 48, 88.2 or
96kHz. Use the control panel or Stage Control to select reproducing left or right channel.

The DSP (loudspeaker management) part of the BB35 offers a wide range of tools for sound
system design and setup. These tools can make your system more efficient and better sounding,
but to get the best possible sound it is important to use these tools properly. The following
section explains the various functions of the BB35.
Please note that if your Blue Box is incorrectlly setup you will not be using your
system to its fullest potential and could be harming your speakers.
Always select the right Stage Accompany preset for your SA-system! (see 4.4)
We encourage you to configure the device via PC or MAC program for maximum ease.
Working from the device is possible though.
