1200Watts from your power supply, so make sure that whatever you plug your subwoofer into can handle it!

Speaker-level connections: High

Level Inputs

Using a good quality speaker cable, connect the output of your power amplifier to the binding posts on the back of the S2/12t. You may also connect the S2/12t to the binding posts on the back of your loudspeaker terminals if this is more convenient.

Make sure that you maintain proper polarity. This means that the plus (+) terminal of your amplifier must be connected to the plus (+/red) terminal on the back of the S2/12t, and the negative (-) terminal to the negative (- /white) terminal.

Using the high level inputs to feed the S2/12t power amplifier will not degrade the sound quality of either your loudspeaker or the subwoofer.

Line-level connections

As an alternative, you can use the low- level inputs on the S2/12t. Using a high quality interconnect cable, connect your preamplifier’s output to the low

level inputs on the subwoofer labeled PRE AMP IN.

We strongly recommend that you do not use single-ended interconnects longer than 10 feet (3.2 meters) to connect the preamplifier outputs to your subwoofer. On many preamplifiers, using an interconnect that is too long will negatively affect the performance of your preamplifier because of the high capacitance of the interconnect cable across the output of your preamplifier. This is why we provide balanced inputs on the S2/12t. Balanced interconnects can be as long as you like. (See page 7.)

If your preamplifier has only one set of balanced outputs and one set of unbalanced (RCA) type outputs, choose your first preference of connection for the amplifier that is driving your loudspeaker. Use the remaining set of outputs to feed the S2/12t’s amplifier.
