SUBWOOFER CONNECTIONS
You may choose to use a subwoofer with your ATS-1 to enhance the bass response of your music system. The Phase Technology Power 8 is well-suited for the use with the ATS-1. There are two ways to connect the ATS-1 in a home theater system with a powered subwoofer. The LOW-LEVEL diagram below may be utilized with receivers or processors that feature subwoofer or low frequency outputs. This type of output utilizes RCA connectors.
Note: Most processors and receivers have a single (mono) sub-out. Connect the subwoofer output from your receiver/processor to either the left input or the right input on your subwoofer amplifier.
The HIGH-LEVEL (speaker level) diagram below illustrates the typical subwoofer wiring utilizing the speaker output terminals of the amplifier or receiver. This hook-up method illustrates the ATS-1 connection to the subwoofer.
