Connecting Your Subwoofer

The Atlantic Technology InWall Subwoofer System is simple to hook up, offering several connection methods for maximum flexibility. Study the system diagrams starting on Page 8.Once you have found the example which most closely matches your system, hook up your subwoofer(s) as shown in that diagram. In all cases, the 8 SUB Module(s) connect to the amplifier using the SPEAKER OUTPUT(s), with high-quality speaker wire, as outlined in the High Level Con- nection section below.

WARNING: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equip- ment, always unplug all component AC cords before proceeding with speaker and component connections! The last step in wiring your sys- tem should be plugging in the AC cords!

Low Level Connection (LO IN)

We suggest using the low level (RCA jack) subwoofer line out or preamp output if your receiver/processor has one. This jack may be labeled Sub, Subwoofer, or LFE (Low Frequency Effects). Simply connect to the LO IN jack(s) on your SA-350 or SA-700 amplifier with high-quality shielded cables as shown in Figures 8-10. Please consult your processor/receiver manual for further information.

Using the Low Level Thruput (THRU)

If your processor has a single subwoofer output and you are using the SA-700 Dual Mono amplifier connect it using the example in Figure 9 to connect both channels of the amplifier. We have sup- plied a short jumper to facilitate this connection method.The THRU jack(s) can also be used to run a low level signal through the ampli- fier and out to another unit, as shown in Figure 8. The signal that comes out of the THRU jack(s) is identical to the input signal.

High Level Connection (HI IN)

Alternately, if you are using the SA-700 with dual 8 SUB Modules, you may use the high level (HI IN) inputs by following the diagram in Figure 11. If you do, we recommend that you use high-quality speaker wire of at least 16 gauge or larger. Please consult your au- dio/video specialist for more specific information.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You can use the HI IN input on the SA-350 to connect one high level input from a single channel source. For stereo (2 channel) hookup, please contact Atlantic Technology for further information.

You can connect to the HI IN inputs by using a variety of connec- tors, or by removing 1/2" of insulation from each wire end, twisting the individual strands of each conductor together, placing the wire through one of the post holes and screwing down the nut tightly.

It’s important to observe polarity while making speaker connections: red (+) terminals on the amplifier to red (+) on the speaker, black

(–)on the amplifier to black (–) on the speaker. Note that one wire in each pair will be marked by either the conductor color, printing on the wire jacket, a ridge on one side of the wire jacket, or a thread intertwined with the wire strands. By convention, the marked wire is connected to the red (+) terminal.
