SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS
Option 1: Low Level Setup This is the recommended method for those amplifiers and receivers that are
equipped with a “Subwoofer Out” or “Pre-Amp Out” connection. Virtually all audio/video receivers have this
connection clearly marked on the rear panel. Run a dedicated interconnect cable with RCA connectors from
the subwoofer output jack to the line input on the subwoofer. In this setup, you will be using the internal
crossover on your processor.

Option 2: High Level Input Setup If your amplifier or receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer output,
it will be necessary to connect your new subwoofer directly to the speaker output terminals on the back of the
unit. In this scenario, you will be running high quality speaker wires from the left and right front outputs of your
amplifier to the high level inputs on the subwoofer. You will then need a second set of wires to carry the signal
from the subwoofer back to the main speakers.

AMPLIFIER SETUP AND BASS MANAGEMENT
Many home theater receivers/processors have a feature that controls how the bass is processed and delivered
to the subwoofer. It also adjusts the amount of bass that is sent to your satellite speakers. Look carefully in your
amplifier or receiver’s instruction manual for details on how to adjust for the speaker size (sometimes called
“Speaker Setup”) for your system.
When using a Dolby® Digital or DTS™-capable receiver/processor with the subwoofer connected to the
subwoofer out on your amplifier turn the “LOW-PASS FREQUENCY” control to the highest setting (200 Hz) on
the back of your subwoofer. Set the subwoofer crossover setting in the speaker setup section of the amplifier
setup menu to 150 HZ (or the next highest setting) and set the Satellites and Center channels to “small”.
If you are NOT using the receiver’s internal processor for subwoofer control then turn the “CROSSOVER
FREQUENCY” control on the subwoofer to the 3 o’clock (150 Hz) setting.
