Here are some pics of my system set up for Super 8mm projection. The equipment is all mounted on a very nice roll-away microwave stand which is positioned just outside the screening room in the hallway. This has the advantage of significantly reducing projector noise for the audience sitting in the cinema. The whole system is pre-connected up so it only has to be plugged in to the wall socket for power. The GS1200 is connected up to the DIY external DC power supply which powers the 250 w ELC lamp. The audio output from the GS1200 is connected to the input of the Yamaha 10 band stereo equalizer, which is tuned to attenuate low frequency hum and high frequency hiss, and to boost up the mid range frequencies a little bit. This output then goes to the little pre-amp which has mono and stereo switching and some additional base and treble adjustments. Finally the output of the pre amp is connected to the input of the Yamaha RX-383 AVR located inside the screening room. There is also a connection to a Bluetooth transmitter which is paired to bluetooth headphones for private listening.

I've actually removed both speakers Thomas, the reasons being to 1. Reduce the weight of the projector as I never use the internal speakers anyway, and 2. improve cooling circulation to the interior electronics of the projector by opening up the grills and internal spaces previously blocked by the speakers.
Any suggestions for reducing lamphouse temperature with the 250w ELC lamp?

Thanks Thomas! I love running the GS from the external power supply and getting that real boost in screen brightness, and at the same time removing all that electrical and thermal load from the projectors transformer, And yes , that is the same Speakon connector that you use. I had never seen one of them until I saw your photos that you posted a couple of years ago, and I did some research and found out what they were for and why you had used it. A really great quick connector design capable of carrying a high current.
