Connections
Please consider the following when set-
ting up your new
system:
Before making
or
changing any
connections, ALWAYS make sure
that the subwoofer and your other
components are turned OFF. Turn
down the volume control
of
both the
subwoofer and your processor
or
receiver.

Subwoofer
This diagram shows all the low
power components sharing a power
strip which is connected to the
same outlet used by the main power
amplifier.
The subwoofer is connected to an
outlet on the same circuit breaker,
provided that the total system
current draw does not exceed the
breaker current rating.
Whenever possible, keep the power
cords away from the signal cables
or
speaker wires to prevent hum
or
interference.
Choose reliable, high quality
interconnect cables. They should
be fully shielded and as short as
possible for the job. The longest
cable in your system will likely be to
the subwoofer, so choose a good
quality brand.
Some cables can be a very tight
fit and there is usually a preferred
method
of
removing them. Some
have to be removed with a twisting
action. Be gentle, as twisting may
cause damage to the jacks
of
the
subwoofer
or
your other compo-
nents.
Speaker-level connections
The subwoofer's speaker-level in-
puts can accept speaker wires with
banana, dual-banana,
or
bare wire.
If you have banana-type connec-
tors on your speaker wire, tighten
the binding posts before inserting.
Make sure that the negative
speaker wires never touch the posi-
tive wires. This will short out and
possibly damage your amplifier
or
receiver.
The subwoofer's two negative
posts are joined internally (com-
• man-grounded). Your amplifier
or
receiver must also be internally
common-grounded
or
you cannot
use this connection. Contact the
manufacturer
of
your amplifier
or
receiver to make sure its outputs
are common grounded.
