a speaker level output of a power amplifier!
Before making the connections, check that
the power on all components is turned off.
Start by connecting the subwoofer cable to

connectors: a balanced XLR and an unbal-
ancedRCA.Forlongcableconnectionlengths
(>10m or >30ft) a balanced line connection
is recommended as it offers better immunity
