Unbalanced Inputs
e Fathom v2 subwoofer features individual le and right unbalanced RCA-
type input connectors. ese are the most commonly used connectors for home
audio applications and must be used if your receiver or preamplier/processor
does not provide balanced outputs. While unbalanced connections are not as
noise-immune as a balanced connection, Fathom v2 subwoofers employ optical
isolation on the unbalanced inputs to minimize the possibility of noise in your
system.
For systems with a mono subwoofer or “LFE” channel connection, only
the RCA-type jack labeled “Le or Mono” will be used. is applies to most
modern multi-channel receivers and preamplier / processors. Separate le and
right RCA-type input jacks are provided for systems without a dedicated mono
subwoofer connection. is typically applies to two-channel audio equipment.
Technical Notes:
• When balanced outputs are not available on the signal source, you must
use the RCA-type unbalanced inputs. Fathom v2s feature optical isolation
circuitry on the unbalanced inputs to minimize the likelihood of ground
loop induced noise. Unbalanced input impedance is 50 kohms.
• Connections are industry-standard for unbalanced signal cables as follows:
