Earthquake Sound P8 manual Using the line speaker-level inputs

Using the line speaker-level inputs

If you are using a receiver which does not have a subwoofer output or line level outputs (pre-outs), you can connect its speaker outputs to the subwoofer's Speaker-Level inputs. The front speakers can still be connected to your receiver.

The subwoofer's internal amplifier supplies the power to reproduce the low frequency range. It receives a sample of the signal going to your front speakers. (An insignificant fraction of your receiver's power is transferred to the subwoofer).

There is no need to use the Speaker Level inputs if you are using a separate amplifier and pre-amplifier. Such systems are best connected using the Line Level Inputs as shown in the previous diagrams.

If you are using the Line Level inputs and there is an excessive amount of noise or hum present, using the Speaker Level inputs may yield a lower background noise level.
