Definitive Technology 1000 Using ProMonitors with a ProSub in Home Theater, Simplest Hook-Up

6.Repeat steps 4 & 5 for the right ProMonitor.

7.Set the low frequency filter control on the back of the ProSub to the setting described in a ProSub Owner’s Manual. Please note that the exact frequency will depend on many factors including specific positions of the speakers in the room, so you might experiment with a slightly higher or lower setting to achieve ideal blending between the sub and the satellites for your particular set-up. Listen to a wide variety of music to determine the correct setting for this in your system.

8.Set the subwoofer level control to the setting described in a ProSub Owner’s Manual. Please note that the exact level depends on many factors including your room size, position of the speakers, etc. as well as your personal listening taste, so you might experiment with the subwoofer level while listening to a wide variety of music until you achieve the ideal setting for your system.

9.If your receiver allows you to choose whether or not the main speakers are to receive a full-range signal, choose full range (or “Large” Left and Right Main Speakers).

Using ProMonitors with a ProSub in Home Theater

There are many different variations of the basic Dolby ProLogic and Dolby Digital AC-3 formats and features, as well as a multiplicity of ways in which the speakers can be hooked up to these systems. We will discuss the simplest and most effective hookups and adjustments. If you have a particular question regarding your set-up, please call us.

For Dolby ProLogic Systems

Follow Steps 1-9 provided earlier. The subwoofer will receive its low frequency signal through the full-range speaker level outputs. If, however, your system has

a separate subwoofer RCA low level output which has a remote control level adjustment, you might also want to hook this up using an RCA-to-RCA low level cable to the LFE/subwoofer-in low level input (the lower RCA input) on a ProSub. Then use your remote control sub level adjustment to fine-tune the low frequency level for different types of program material. (You might find you want a higher level for some music or for movies).

For Dolby Digital AC-3 5.1 Systems

Please note that Dolby Digital decoders have bass management systems (systems which direct the bass to the various channels) which vary from unit to unit.

Simplest Hook-Up

The simplest way to hook up and use your ProCinema System with Dolby Digital

5.1Systems is to hook a ProMonitor to each of the front (main) left, front (main) right, rear (surround) left and rear (surround) right channels and a ProCenter to the front center channel outputs of your receiver or power amplifier making sure that the red (+) terminal of each speaker is hooked up to the red (+) terminal of its proper channel out- put and the black (-) terminal is connected to the black (-) terminal of its proper chan- nel output. Then connect the LFE RCA output on your receiver or decoder to the LFE input on your Definitive ProSub subwoofer.
