Connecting Your Subwoofer - 2

Connecting to a Digital AV Processor

A-V AMPLIFIER

LINE LEVEL

Connecting Centre and Surround Loudspeakers

Connect these speakers as shown below. The Centre channel speaker may be connected as shown, or bi-wired.

If your AV processor has a line level or LFE subwoofer output you should use this connection. You will need to purchase a single screened RCA phono lead from your dealer. Connect this lead to the Left line input of the Subwoofer as shown.

Alternatively, you may use a split mono lead from the processor to both inputs of the subwoofer. In this case the input level at the subwoofer will be slightly higher.

Stereo Line Level Connections

If your amplifier has a spare preamplifier output or a stereo sub-woofer output, connect the sub-woofer as shown.

You will need a stereo screened RCA phono cable.

Connect a stereo RCA phono cable from the line output of the preamp to the Subwoofer line inputs.

Using a Y Adaptor

You will need two screened RCA ‘Y’ adaptors and two single RCA phono cables. Remove the Pre-Main links on your amplifier. Connect the socket (common) of an RCA ‘Y’ adaptor to one of the mono cables. Connect one leg of the ‘Y’ adaptor to the Left Channel Pre Out socket on the amplifier and the other leg to the Left Channel Main In socket. Connect the remaining plug on this combination to the Left Channel Line Level Input on the sub-woofer. Repeat this for the Right Channel.

You will need two stereo (or four single) screened RCA cables. Connect a Stereo cable from the Line Level Inputs of the sub-woofer to the Pre Out sockets of the amplifier. Now connect a second Stereo cable from the Line Level Outputs of the sub-woofer to the Main In sockets of the amplifier. Make sure that the Right and Left Channels are not mixed up! The sub-woofer is now inserted within the system loop.
