System Confi gurations
The following pages show some typical
con nec tions that you might make in your
in stal la tion. They show how the inputs
and outputs of the Sunfi re Subwoofer
are con nected to your pream pli fi er or
receiver.
If your preamplifi er
has a subwoofer output
(often labeled LFE for
Low Fre quen cy Ef fects),
it can be con nect ed to the
sub woof er’s Left (Mono)
input as shown. This is the
simplest and rec om mend ed
connection. A receiver with
a sub/LFE output can be
con nect ed in the same way.
The sub woof er will play
the low frequency range
and the other speakers will
play the frequency range
delivered to them by your
amplifi er.
If you have a Home
Theater pream pli fi er, it
may have an in de pen dent
subwoofer volume control.
Make sure this is cor-
rectly ad just ed, and that
the Sunfi re Subwoofer’s
cross over frequency is set
to BYPASS. This is by no
means an iron-clad rule,
rather it is a good starting
point. (See the cross over
frequency control details on
page 6 and ad just ments on
page 15).
You can set the sub woof er’s Bass
Level control to 0 dB, and then use the
preamplifi er’s sub woof er level control for
normal and routine ad just ments.
