Amplifier Controls and Setup
1.Volume Control: The volume control should be at the minimum setting (all the way counter clockwise) before plugging the subwoofer into a 120V AC wall socket.
2.Crossover Frequency Control: The variable crossover frequency control allows you to set the crossover point of the subwoofer anywhere from

3. Phase Control: This control changes the phase of the subwoofer. Changing the phase will change the way the subwoofer and main speakers interact with each other at the crossover frequency. Varying the phase position may result in more or less mid- bass depending on the phasing between the main speakers and the subwoofer. Generally, the phase is left at the 0° position.
4. LFE Line Level Input: Typically this will be the line level input used to connect to most receivers or processors. The LFE input will bypass the subwoofers crossover control, rendering it non- functioning. This input should be used when the input signal is coming from a receiver or processor where the bass management is controlled by the
receiver or processor.
5. L/R Line Level Input: If a
sent from the receiver or processor then these inputs should be used. In this configuration the crossover frequency (#2) is active.
6.High Level Input: These binding post terminal connectors are for the amplifier/ speaker level input from an amplifier or receiver. Usually, the LFE line level input (#4) will be used. Important! Use either the Line Input or the High Level Input.
DO NOT use them both simultaneously.
7.High Level/Speaker Output: This is a 100 Hz high pass crossover for your satellite/main speakers. The crossover limits the low frequencies (below 100 Hz) from going to your satellite/main speakers. You may use this crossover only when using the High Level Input terminals. Connect your main speakers (observing the proper polarity) to the terminals labeled “High Level Out”.
