Option | Preference Audio P-1200 instruction

C O N N E C T I O N (continued)

OPTION 1

If a Line Level signal, (Stereo Left/Right, LFE, Sub Out, etc) is available then skip to options 2 and 3 to see if they are more appropriate for your installation.

If no line level output signal is available then the subwoofer should be connected in parallel with the main speakers per the Option 1 drawing. A description is provided below.

Per the Option 1 drawing on the adjacent page, use two 2-condcutor speaker cables and connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver or amplifier to the Speaker Level inputs of the P-1200 as you would connect a pair of speakers. Use care to ensure that the proper polarity is observed (R+ is connected to R+ of P-1200, R- is connected to R- of P-1200, etc). Failure to do so will result in little to no subwoofer output or erratic output.

If a (B) speaker output is available (unutilized) it can be used in place of making a parallel connection at the receiver but this will only work if the amplifier utilizes an internal parallel connection of the

(A) and (B) speaker pairs. Use the following test to determine if this is the case.

Test for Parallel (A) and (B) connection:

Ensure that a pair of speakers is connected to the (A) output and that nothing is connected to the (B) speakers. Engage the (B) speaker button while an audio source is playing through the (A) speakers. If the (A) speakers continue to play then the connections are parallel and you may use the (B) output for the subwoofer. If the (A) speakers discontinue playing when the (B) button is engaged then you will need to connect the subwoofer in parallel to the (A) speaker outputs.

OPTION 2

If an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) or Subwoofer output is available then skip to Option 3 since it will likely produce the best results. If no LFE output is available and a line level Front Channel Output or Preamplifier Output is available, then this (Option 2) is the preferred method of connection.

Per the Option 2 drawing on the adjacent page, use a stereo RCA style (patch) cable and connect the left and right line level (RCA style) front channel outputs of your receiver or preamplifier/processor to the Left/ Right Line Level inputs of the P-1200.

OPTION 3

If the subwoofer is connected to a modern home theater receiver or processor with an available LFE or Subwoofer output then this option will likely produce the best results. If no LFE or Subwoofer output is available but a line level Front Channel Output or Preamplifier Output is available, then use Option 2.

Per the Option 3 drawing on the adjacent page, use a single RCA style (patch) cable and connect the line level (RCA style) LFE or Subwoofer output of your receiver or preamplifier/processor to the Left/LFE Line Level input of the P-1200.

AC Power: The unit is shipped with a standard IEC AC cable. Remove this cable from its packaging and insert the cord into the IEC receptacle on the back of the subwoofer. It is best to connect power only after all other connections are made. Connect the power cord to an AC wall receptacle or similar.
