Max 4

Post by stylzmovement »

Ok, I got it.
Now the questions start.
I did not get a manual with this unit, but i can access it online.
I saw the diagram for connecting the DSP to the Max Pro but does the connection require polarity matching?
Do you sell the surface buttons for the MAX PRO 4 LCD?
there were no 12C cable included, what else can i use?
soldering is required for J3 on SE4 DSP.
Soldering is also required on the max pro IV to J3.
on the max pro iv what does A Mean at jumper J8
1W = 1 watt
4w = 4 watts
A = ?
there are no jumpers for the premphasis on the se4 dsp , soldering is required to obtain us 75us.

The BNC connector you have for the output can it handle 15 Watts 24 hours /7 days per week ?

Can i change this to a UHF or N Type Connector , will this void the Waranty?

other than that the piece is well made.

q: I did not get a manual with this unit, but i can access it online.
a: Check the CD

q: I saw the diagram for connecting the DSP to the Max Pro but does the connection require polarity matching?
a: Yes, exactly as on the diagram

q: Do you sell the surface buttons for the MAX PRO 4 LCD?
a: What is a surface button?

q: there were no 12C cable included, what else can i use?
a: its just normal wire

q: Soldering is also required on the max pro IV to J3.
a: We could not find a suitable pre-assembled 3-pin wire/connector,
yes you need to solder these 3 wires. I think you can manage.


q: on the max pro iv what does A Mean at jumper J8
1W = 1 watt
4w = 4 watts
A = ?
a: Automatic, in this position power is controlled by LCD module.

q: there are no jumpers for the premphasis on the se4 dsp , soldering is required to obtain us 75us.
a: We do not install those jumpers when you order stereo encoder as well. Reason is high percentage of people not disabling preemphasis and
than complaining that their stereo does not work. Its easy to install this,
should you want to operate without stereo.

q: The BNC connector you have for the output can it handle 15 Watts 24 hours /7 days per week ?
a: No, it will explode after 2 months. Of course it can handle it. :-?

q: Can i change this to a UHF or N Type Connector , will this void the Waranty?
A: It will not fit the PCB. UHF is worse than BNC. N is better, but trust me,
this BNC can handle it.
