THE S-BAM
The S-BAM is battery-powered and includes a self-contained rechargeable battery system. The battery S-BAM allows you to operate the unit in AC or battery modes. In the battery mode, the last vestiges of AC related noises are removed to allow the speaker system to exhibit its maximum resolution. Fully charged batteries will allow the S-BAM to operate for up to 10 hours in full battery operation.
S-BAM CONNECTION & OPERATION
The S-BAM is a line level component and should be connected with high quality interconnects. We recommended that the S-BAM be connected between your source and the preamp's appropriate line level input. If you use multiple sources, you should use the S-BAM in a tape loop, this will also, allow you switch it in and out of the signal path for comparative purposes. Due to the buffering provided by your preamp's line output stage, you may find that the sound is "juicier" when connected between your source and preamp or in a tape loop. If the afore mentioned set-ups are not an option, connecting the S-BAM between your preamp and power amplifier will still give you better performance than not using it at all. Experiment for yourself and choose the setup you prefer.
Integrated amplifier based systems require that the S-BAM be connected into a tape loop when multiple sources are used. If there is only one line level source, the S-BAM can be connected between the source and the integrated amp. Plug the S-BAM into a wall socket or line conditioner.
