Using the line level high-pass outputs

If you are using a preampliÞer 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 ampliÞer.

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

DIM - STANDBY

BRIGHT - ON

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 Þltered out. This uses the subwoofer’s passive crossover network, rather than the active network and controls.

This is an excellent method if your speakers are small satellites or mini- monitors, and/or your power ampliÞer is of limited power, such as a tube amp.
