Cinemeccanica Soundheads (BXM Lamp)

XLC-650K LED and Line Amp Kit

In order to install TM in Cinemeccanica soundheads you will need the newer style exciter lamp housing. Line amp gain is set for a boosted 16kHz response (A-jumper), internally. The wiring is the same as other installation procedures.

* Certain soundheads may have their exciter lamp socket reversed. If this is the case, rotate the mounting flange on the bottom of the TM 180 degrees and reattach by means of the other three tapped mounting holes.

* RCA projectors require adapter ring.

Clearance Warning - Simplex Soundheads

If clearance is very close, TM lens could be scratched. Follow instructions in illustration below to increase clearance space.

Troubleshooting

Hum

• Four conductors and a shield must be used from the TM line amp to the cinema processor. Use either a pair of two-conductor shielded cables or a four-conductor shielded cable (Belden 8404 or equivalent).

A single two-conductor shielded cable will cause hum.

• Under some conditions, it may be necessary to ground one side of the exciter power supply to the projector frame to avoid hum. Proper grounding of soundhead is required.

• Stray ambient light could cause hum or noise. It may be necessary to adjust room light to minimize hum.
