Integrator Augment Configuration

3The SmartSub Integrator in augment configuration should be used if a passive crossover is not available for your main speakers, you desire adjustability of the main

channel bass level or extension, or if you desire more than one subwoofer in your system, or two stereo subwoofers.

4If your main speakers do not play sufficiently loudly due to bass overloading, then the Integrator should

be used in crossover mode to allow the transfer of low frequency energy from the main speakers and into the subwoofer.

Integrator Augment Configuration

Integrator Crossover Configuration

In this configuration the subwoofer is used to reproduce both the subwoofer channel and the deep bass portion of the left and right channels and achieves near-perfect blending of the main channel bass with the main speakers.

Tell the processor the main speakers are large, even if they are not.

This configuration can be ideal if the main speakers play loudly enough. It’s also perfect for audio systems where the subwoofer is used to extend the bass range.

Connecting the SmartSub Integrator between the processor and the main speaker power amp allows the Integrator to be used in crossover mode so that bass can be kept from the main speakers and reproduced by the subwoofer instead. This usually allows the main speakers to play more loudly than otherwise so that the bass range and the output of the system are enhanced.

Tell the processor the main speakers are large, even if they are not.
