Hooking Up Your Subwoofer: 5.1 Surround

This is a bit more involved than a stereo hook up since there are now six speakers involved— as well as something called Bass Management (see the Bass Management Theory section). Notice from Figure 3 that for professional use a separate 6-channel level control box is required between the mix-down deck and the monitor speakers. This is because few small format mixing consoles have provisions to switch and level-manage a 6-channel audio signal. The simplest and perhaps best way to accomplish this is to use an external, 5.1 level controller. It is placed between the outputs of the mix-down deck and the monitor speakers, allowing it to control the playback level while the mix-down deck receives full-level recording signal.
