Sunfire HRS-8 - Using the Line-Level High-Pass Outputs

Using
the
line-level high-pass
outputs
If
you are using a receiver or
processor which does not have
a Sub/LFE output, you can send
its left and right front output
into the subwoofer's Line-Level
inputs and then connect the
subwoofer's High-Pass outputs
to the inputs
of
your amplifier.
The subwoofer
will
play the
low frequencies, and your
amplifier and front speakers
will
play the frequency
range·
above the subwoofer's fixed
(70 Hz) high-pass crossover
point.
The signals com-
ing out of the sub-
woofer's high-pass
outputs are not
affected by any of
the controls. They
are just a copy of
the signals going
into the subwoofer
except that the
low bass
is
filtered
out. This uses
the subwoofer's
passive crossover
network, set at
70
Hz, rather than the
active network and other controls.
+ -
This is an
excellent
method if your
speakers are
small satellites or mini-
monitors, and/or your power amplifier
is
of limited power, such as a tube amp.
TO FRONT SPEAKERS
For the ultimate
in
computer sound
systems, connect the left and right audio
output from your computer sound card
into the subwoofer inputs.
Connect
the
sub's high-pass outputs to the inputs
of
your powered speakers.
You
may need
some RCA-to-mini plug adaptors to make
the connections. Adjust the sub's volume
control to match low-powered speakers.
