Using the line level high-pass outputs

If you are using a preamplifier which does not have a sub/LFE output, you can send its left and right front output into the subwoofer’s Line Level inputs and then connect the subwoof- er’s High-Pass outputs to the inputs of your amplifier.

The subwoofer will play the low frequencies and your amplifier and front speakers will play the frequency range above the subwoofer’s fixed high-pass crossover point.

DIM - STANDBY

The signals coming out of the subwoof- er’s high-pass outputs are not affected by any of the controls. They are just a copy of the signals going

in except that the low bass is filtered out. This uses the subwoofer’s passive crossover network, rather than the active network and controls.
