Sunfire 12 user manual System ConÞgurations, Connections to a preampliÞer’s subwoofer output

System ConÞgurations

The following pages show some typical connections that you might make in your installation. They show how the inputs and outputs of the SunÞre Subwoofer are connected to your preampliÞer or receiver.

Connections to a preampliÞer’s subwoofer output

If your preampliÞer has a subwoofer output (often labeled LFE for Low Frequency Effects), it can be connected to the subwoofer’s Left (Mono) input as shown. This is the simplest and recommended con- nection. A receiver with a sub/LFE output can be connected in the same way.

The subwoofer will play the low frequency range and the other speakers will play the frequency range delivered to them by your ampliÞer.

DIM - STANDBY

BRIGHT - ON

If you have a Home Theater preampliÞer, it may have an inde- pendent subwoofer vol- ume control. Make sure this is correctly adjusted, and that the SunÞre Subwoofer’s crossover frequency is set to 100 Hz. This is by no means an iron-clad rule, rather it is a good starting point. (See the crossover fre- quency control details on page 6 and adjustments on page 18).

You can set the subwoofer’s Vol- ume control to 0 dB, and then use the preampliÞer’s subwoofer level control for normal and routine adjustments.
