to the amp. In many systems, if your speakers are true full range systems, you may ﬁnd that you get a more satisfying sound by running the speak- ers full-range and crossing your subwoofer in fairly low (40-70 Hz). On the other hand, if you ﬁnd that you are overdriving your main speakers, you will clearly be able to play your system louder by using the built-in high pass crossover for your main speakers.

The Advantages of Multiple Subwoofers

Deﬁnitive’s ProSub 60 subwoofers are engineered to be used singly or in stereo pairs. With a single subwoofer, both left and right signals are sent to the subwoofer wherein they are combined via the electronic crossover into one composite signal. With stereo subwoofers, the left and right low frequency signals are reproduced by their own individual subwoofers. The use of one subwoofer achieves outstanding performance; however, the addition of a second subwoofer (one for the left and one for the right chan- nel) clearly offers the highest level of performance achievable for both movies and music. The use of stereo subwoofers smoothes out the peaks and dips which result from the eigenmodes in your room. Two subwoofers couple much better to the air in your room (four times better) and of course offer double the power. In addition, some state-of-the-art home the- ater installations have begun to use a separate subwoofer hooked up to the

rear (surround) channels and we recommend this for the absolute ultimate in performance. In addition, some state-of-the-art Dolby Digital* home theater installations have begun to use a separate subwoofer hooked up to the rear (surround) channels and we recommend this for the absolute ultimate in performance.

Dual Subwoofer Connections

When hooking up a stereo pair of subwoofers, wiring is quite similar to traditional high level connections. Here, instead of running both speaker cables from your receiver or ampliﬁer to the left and right high level terminals on the subwoofer, you will run the left channel to the left channel subwoofer and the right channel to the right channel subwoofer. Again, take care to make red to red (“+”) and black to black (“-”) terminal connections.

Don’t worry that on your left subwoofer the right channel terminals will be empty and that on the right channel subwoofer the left channel termi- nals will be empty—both channels are combined at the subwoofer’s input stage. There is a possibility that with this type of wiring you may need to increase your gain a little bit for proper balance.

A dual subwoofer system using low level connections is equally sim- ple. From your receiver or preamp, run an RCA-type interconnect from the left channel main output to the left channel low level input on the sub- woofer you are using for the left channel. The process should then be repeated for the right channel. In this setup, main speaker connections are made between your receiver or ampliﬁer in a traditional manner.
