SPEAKER LEVEL IN SETUP (best for amps/
receivers with no LFE/subwoofer or pre-out jacks)
Note: Speaker Level In is labeled High Level Input
on the back panel of the subwoofer.
1. Power-off the amplifier/receiver and disconnect
the subwoofer from the AC socket.
2. Connect standard speaker cables from the speaker
output terminals of the amplifier/receiver. Most
amplifiers and receiver speaker terminals allow two
sets of wires to be connected to one terminal set
(one for the main speaker and one for the subwoofer).
IMPORTANT NOTE: One terminal on each channel
input is marked with a red band (+) and the other
is marked with a black band (–). Make certain that
you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of
your amplifier or receiver to the red (+) terminal
of the subwoofer and the wire from the black (–)
terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the black (–)
terminal of the subwoofer. It is essential to connect
all speakers in the system to the amplifier in the
same way (to the correct polarity.) If you experience
poor bass, one or more of the channels may be
connected to the incorrect polarity and may need to
be rewired. Pay close attention and connect positive
to positive and negative to negative on all channels.
3. Connect the subwoofer to an AC power source
and turn it on (see page 12).
4. Start with the default volume, which is set at V20.
5. Proceed to page 15 for subwoofer adjustment
and system tweaking.
OTHER CONNECTIONS:
12 V trigger (optional): In a system utilizing 12V
control systems, connect a cable with 3.5 mm tip/
ring male plugs to the 12 V trigger output of the
system’s receiver or preamp/processor for one-
button system turn-on.
IR Remote (optional): In installations where the
subwoofer is in a cabinet or otherwise blocked,
the remote will not work. Connect an IR remote
repeater eye (optional, available from most audio/
video specialty dealers) to the IR remote jack on the
subwoofer’s amplifier panel. Position the repeater
eye within clear view of your main listening position.
