FEATURES AND OPERATING CONTROLS
All operating controls are conveniently located on the amplifier panel mounted on the
rear of your subwoofer cabinet.
FEATURES
Auto-On/Auto-Off Circuit
Your subwo o fer is equipped with a special “ A u t o - o n / A u t o - o f f” c i r c u i t .This circuit
a u t o m a t i c a l ly turns your subwo o fer on as soon as it senses a program signal. At a
p r e d e t e rmined time after the program signal ends, this circuit automatically turn s
t h e s u b wo o fer off.
Clipping Protection Circuit
Many powered subwoofers on the market today produce distorted sounds as a result
of clipping at high input levels.Mirage’s proprietary Clipping Protection Circuit (CPC)
continuously senses the input signal level and automatically adjusts to prevent clipping of
the waveform, maintaining undistorted bass reproduction.
High Le vel Input and Output Terminals
The High Level inputs allow you to connect your subwoofer to the speaker outputs of
any A/V Receiver or power amplifier. The signal from the High Level output terminals
passes through a built-in High Pass Filter. When these terminals are connected to your
main/satellite speakers the result is increased dynamic range and power handling,which
improves overall system performance. See “Subwoofer Connection to your Audio/Video
System”.
Low-Le vel RCA Input Jacks
The two RCA Input jacks allow you to connect your subwoofer to
EITHER: 1) The subwoofer mono output of an A/V Receiver/Processor OR
2) The subwoofer output of an External Crossover
3) Model BPS-150i ONLY - The left and right pre-out jacks of an A/V
Receiver/Processor
NOTE: When using the External Crossover Input, the subwoofer Level control and
LP Filter control on the subwoofer’s rear panel are bypassed and have no effect on the
subwoofer. In this mode, adjustments are made using the controls provided on the
optional Mirage LFX Crossover or other External Crossovers.
Low-Le vel RCA Output Jacks
The output signal from these jacks is actively filtered below 80 Hz (18dB/octave).
When these jacks are connected to your system’s main amplifier input (or "main-in”
for many Audio/Video receivers). The result is increased dynamic range, lower distortion,
and improved overall system performance. See “Subwoofer Connection to your
Audio/Video System”.
