2) Subwoofer crossover (Freq): This rotary control adjusts a variable low pass fil-

ter to set the upper frequency at which the output of the subwoofer begins to roll-

off. Continuously variable from 50Hz to 150 Hz, it matches the upper frequency

characteristics of the subwoofer to the low frequency response of the main stereo

speakers. Recommended setting: 120Hz-150Hz.

3) Line level input: These RCA phono jacks accept a line level full range signal

from the preamplifier output of a receiver or preamplifier. This full range signal is

processed and amplified to power the subwoofer.

4) Speaker level (high level) input: These spring loaded terminals for speaker wire

accept a stereo, speaker level, full range signal from a receiver or power amplifier.

This signal is processed and amplified to power the subwoofer.
