AUDIO OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
There are 4 pairs of output jacks labeled Main Out, Sub Out, Hi Pass Out and Record Out. All of the outputs are active simultaneously. Read through this section to determine which you should use for your setup.
Main Output Jacks
The Main Output Jacks are the primary outputs that connect to the inputs on your power amplifier(s). They are full range outputs with no filters or crossovers. Use these jacks if your speakers are full range and you aren’t using a subwoofer.
Sub Out Jacks—no subwoofer in your system
If you don’t use a subwoofer in your system, you can skip this section.
Sub Out
•A mono Sub output is created by the Model 2100.
•Sub 1 & 2 Out jacks carry the same mono signal.
•The crossover point of the Sub Out jacks is determined by the setting of the Low Pass Crossover Frequency knob.
For an independent stereo system, adjust to taste. When the Model 2100 is connected to a surround receiver, adjust the crossover frequency so it matches the bass management setting in your surround receiver’s setup menu.

Sub Out Jacks—when the Bypass Input is selected
•Sub Out 1 & 2 jacks carry independent L & R signals from the Bypass L & R Input jacks.

Hi Pass Output Jacks—no subwoofer in your system
If your speakers are full range, you can skip this section.
Hi Pass Output Jacks—“small” speakers + sub
The Hi Pass Output jacks are for use when your speakers are small (woofer drivers 6” or smaller) and you are using a subwoofer. The Hi Pass outputs do not carry bass below 80Hz. The crossover point is fixed.
The Hi Pass Outputs are full range when the Bypass Input is selected. In this case the high pass filter is not active so you will use the bass management in your surround sound receiver’s setup menu.
