CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS

CAUTION: Ensure that the subwoofer is unplugged from the AC wall

outlet before making any connections.

“LINE IN” Connection - Most of today’s surround receivers (and

pre-ampliﬁers) have a line level subwoofer output labeled Subwoofer

Pre Out, Sub Out, SW Out, etc. If you have this output, connect one

end of a subwoofer cable to it and connect the other end of the cable

into the subwoofer line input labeled LEFT/LFE. This connection

allows the subwoofer to operate with both music and surround sound

movies (refer to your receiver manual). In absence of a subwoofer

output on your receiver, as an alternative hookup, you can connect

Left and Right channel Pre-Amp Outputs from your receiver (if

provided) to the Left/LFE and Right input on the subwoofer.

“LOWPASS” Control - The crossover point chosen determines

where low bass frequencies are “handed off” from the speakers to

the subwoofer. If setting the crossover point in the receiver, turn the

Lowpass Filter knob on the subwoofer to the farthest point right

(160Hz). Set the crossover point based on the size of the main left/

right speakers you are using in the system. As a general rule, for

larger, ﬂoorstanding speakers, set the crossover point between

50Hz-90Hz. If using small bookshelf or “satellite” speakers for the

mains, set the crossover point between 90Hz-150Hz. The smaller

the speaker, the higher the setting until the bass frequencies blend

well between the speakers and your subwoofer once your system is

completely hooked up. If your receiver does not have a crossover

point setting, set the Lowpass Filter on the subwoofer instead within

the same recommended settings (see receiver manual for additional

speaker setup info).

Level - If your subwoofer is connected to a Subwoofer Output of a

surround receiver, ﬁrst set the subwoofer volume level control in

the receiver to the “half way” or “0 dB” position. Then increase the

volume (or gain) of the subwoofer up until the subwoofer’s volume

level matches the output of your main speakers. After this setup is

completed, the volume control on your system’s main ampliﬁer or

pre-ampliﬁer will be the volume control for both your subwoofer and

speakers together. If your subwoofer is connected to the L/R Pre-

Amp Outputs of a receiver there will be no subwoofer volume in that

receiver to set before setting the subwoofer’s gain control.

“PHASE” 0/180 – This control is used to acoustically match the

subwoofer’s output to your main speakers. Select the position either

0˚ or 180˚ in which your subwoofer has more output at the listening

position.

Off/Auto/On – When this switch is in the “ON/AUTO” position, the

subwoofer will automatically turn “on” when it senses a signal. It will

automatically go into “standby mode” after 15-20 minutes with no

signal. When this switch is in the “OFF” position, the subwoofer will

remain “off” until the switch is manually turned back to the “ON/

AUTO” position.

Power LED indicator - Located on the front bafﬂe, this LED indicates

the operating status of the built-in ampliﬁer. The LED will light green

when the ampliﬁer is on and receiving a signal. If the LED is dark

and not lit, the ampliﬁer is off. For more information on the controls

mentioned in this manual and on bass management, see your dealer
