Subwoofer Input Connection
Some receivers, amplifiers or sound processors
have low level monophonic subwoofer outputs.
If your equipment has this type of an output it
can be connected to the Sub Input. This input
bypasses the subwoofer amplifier’s low pass
filter – the subwoofer crossover frequency is
determined by the other component. Note: The
Subwoofer Input does not bypass the Subwoofer
Level Control. It can still be used to adjust the
output level of the subwoofer.
If the crossover frequency of the component provid
-
ing the subwoofer output signal is not adjustable, it
may not produce the best subwoofer-to-main speaker
transition. In such cases it is better to use a full-range
low level input from the source electronics and let the
subwoofer amplifier control the crossover.
If system has more than one subwoofer, the Subwoofer
Output may be used to provide it with a signal.
Low Level Connection
Whenever possible connect the subwoofer to
the system through low level (also called line
level) input and output connections. Even if you
do not have a separate preamp and power amp,
many receivers and integrated amplifiers include
”Preamp Out“ and ”Amplifier In“ connectors.
When using the low level connections, the signal
from the High Pass Outputs is returned to your
amplifier which will drive the main speakers in
the system. This output is high pass filtered to
remove sound below frequency set by the Cross
-
over Low Pass Filter Control. See the Fine Tuning
section of this manual for more information.
