system connection
There are two ways the subwoofer can be connected to the other components in the system. If the electronics in the system consists of a separate preamp and power amp or integrated electronics that have preamp/power amp jumpers, use the low level (preamp level) inputs and outputs of the subwoofer (See below).
Connect the preamp outputs to the low level inputs on the subwoofer with shielded RCA cables. This supplies the subwoofer with a full range signal. Use the same type of cable to connect the high pass outputs of the subwoofer to the power amp inputs of the system electronics. This returns the portion of the signal above the very low frequency range to the main amplifier and satellite speakers.
Connect the speaker outputs of the amplifier to the inputs of the high level connection of the subwoofer with conventional
Be sure to keep the left/right channel connections correct. Also be sure the phasing of the connections (the positive/negative orientation of the connections) is consistent throughout the system.
The left and right channel outputs from the amplifier should be connected to the appropriate
All speaker wire is marked in some way to make it easy to trace the two conductors. There may be a rib or a stripe on the insulation of one conductor or the insulation may be clear with copper and silver colored conductors. Decide which conductor will be used for the positive connections and which for the negative connections. Then be sure all the
