S120PII Studio Series

S P E A K E R C O N N E C T I O N

When we designed the S120PII powered subwoofer, our goal was to offer the user the best possible performance combined with the most flexible and complete installation options. Please look over the following three examples to determine which

description best matches your system and follow the corresponding hookup instructions.

To use the binding-post speaker terminals •ª with bare wire, unscrew the collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible

under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through the hole in the post, then screw the collar back down until the connection is tight. The holes in the center of the collars are intended for banana-type connectors.

Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic appli- cations (not Dolby Digital, DTS® or other digital processing), where the receiver/processor does not have a subwoofer output or a volume-controlled preamp (line-) level output:

If your receiver features bass management capabilities that require you to configure your speaker settings, make sure to set your left- and right-front speakers to “LARGE”.

Connect your receiver or amplifier’s front left and right speaker terminals to the left

and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked “High Level In” •. Connect the left and right terminals on the subwoofer that are marked “High Level Out” ª to the corresponding terminals on the back of your front left and right speakers.

Connect your receiver or amplifier’s center, left and right surround-speaker terminals to the corre- sponding terminals on the back of your center, left and right surround speakers.
