We urge you to experiment with various subwoofer placements in your listening room
to find the position which produces “deep and smooth” performance. Often, moving
the subwoofer a foot or two can make a big sonic improvement. Remember to use
familiar musical recordings with an abundance of low frequency information when you
experiment with subwoofer locations.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION TO YOUR
AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM

There are essentially two methods by which you can connect your Mirage subwoofer
to your audio/video system. The first one is “The High Level Connection” and the
second is “The Low Level Connection”. Your system components will dictate which
method to use. The High level connections can be used with virtually any integrated
receiver or amplifier. In both methods, the left and right channel inputs are combined
and the resulting signal is passed through a variable (50Hz to 100Hz @ 18dB/octave)
low pass filter for seamless matching of the subwoofer to the main-satellite speakers.

CAUTION: (A) DO NOT USE BOTH LOW LEVEL AND HIGH LEVEL

METHODS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

(B) TURN OFF ALL POWER IN YOUR STEREO SYSTEM BEFORE

PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION OF
THE SUBWOOFER.
