FOOTSWITCH
When engaged, the output of the subwoofer amplifier will be muted. The full range signal will be sent directly to the full range enclosures using the low-level outputs

INPUTS
YSS1
The male XLRs are balanced "through" connec- tors. This way the source output can go directly to the YSS1 then be patched through to the input of the full-range amplifier or powered speakers with the appropriate cables. For powered speakers or a power amplifier with balanced inputs, use balanced cables with a female XLR on the YSS1 end and the appropriate connector (TRS ¼-inch or male XLR) on the other end. Unbalanced signal may also be passed through using modified patch cords with a female XLR on one end (pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to center) and a mono ¼-inch jack or male RCA connector on the other end.

Controls
The YSS1's Volume control should be set while program is playing through the full-range speak- ers at the maximum volume you expect to employ. Adjust the YSS1's Volume control until the desired balance of lows and full-range level is achieved. Thereafter the signal level from the source will determine the subwoofer's volume so that sub and full-range sound levels remain in balance. Naturally adjustments can be made at any time.

where the lows have rolled off -3dB. Otherwise, simply adjust the it for the desired smoothness of response throughout the sub/low-frequency range while program (music, video, etc.) or test tones are playing. If necessary, re-adjust the YSS1 Volume.
The phase relationship between subwoofers and full-range speakers can make a notice- able difference in overall low-mid response smoothness. To reduce low-mid presence it sometimes helps to invert the sub's phase 180 degrees thus creating an audibly more defined separation between the two types of enclosures. To achieve this simply set the YSS1's Phase button to the 180 position. Otherwise you would use the Normal position.
Footswitch Jack
From time to time you may need to shut the subwoofer off in order to hear the pro- gram as it sounds to someone who does not have a subwoofer, or to let you concen- trate more on mid-to-high frequency music components - vocals for example. The Footswitch jack accepts a standard on/off footswitch without an LED. When connected and engaged, the footswitch will mute the output of the YSS1 and bypass the high- pass filters on the A & B Outputs. This way the sub frequencies are cut off and the full-range amplifier or powered speakers return to full-range operation.
