CONNECTING YOUR

 

 

MIRAGE SUBWOOFER

 

Front Panel

1.Subwoofer Level Control - This knob can be adjusted to control the level of output from your subwoofer. The level chosen should allow the subwoofer to blend its output with that of the rest of your audio system.

2.Status Indicator – The LED found on the front panel will illuminate when the subwoofer is connected to an AC source and the unit is active. The LED will display in red when the unit is plugged in but is not receiving a signal and will display green when the unit is active.

3.Frequency Control – This control allows for the adjustment of the low-pass filter. Adjustments can infinitely be made from 40Hz to 120Hz. This will determine the highest frequency that the subwoofer will play.

4.Phase Control – This switch allows for the adjustment of the phase of the subwoofer, in relation to the speakers used in your system, either 0 degrees or 180 degrees.

5.Filter Mode – This switch allows for the selection of either Filter On or Filter Off. (Please see the connections section for suggestions on which mode is appropriate for your installation).

Caution:

All power should be turned off to your system before any connections are made. Careful attention should be taken to ensure that all electronic components are not connected to an AC source. Not doing so could result in potential damage to the system.

There are two mutually exclusive methods to connect your subwoofer to your receiver.

Method 1 – RCA – For Home Theater or LFE Applications

1.On the rear of the receiver there should be a single RCA type jack marked “Subwoofer Out”. Connect a single RCA cable from that jack to the RCA Sub In (#7) on the rear of the subwoofer. A standard male to male RCA cable is needed.

2.After connecting the single low level Sub In (#7) connection, plug your MIRAGE® subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your receiver.
