Connections using Y cables
If your processor does not have a Sub/LFE output, you can use “Y” cables (or Y adaptors) to send its left and right main outputs
to both the subwoofer and your amplifier.
The subwoofer will play the low frequency range, and your front speakers will play the full range.
Although bass is commonly
distributed evenly between left | ||
and right channels (L+R bass), | ||
movie soundtracks often contain | ||
differential | ||
not preserved, the bass |
| |
in these scenes |
| |
sounds anemic. The | PREAMPLIFIER | |
subwoofer utilizes | ||
| ||
differential gain on | SUB/LFE OUT | |
the left and right | ||
inputs to retain both |
| |
the L+R and
L | R |
| MAIN |
| OUTPUTS |
Systems that do not have a dedicated Sub/LFE output should use both the left and the right inputs as shown, for
the greatest bass impact.
