After you have positioned the subwoofer enclosure,
to connect the Control Module to your audio
components.
About your audio components: You can connect the
Control Module to a receiver , an integrated amplifier, a
preamplifier/power amplifier combination or other
audio component with line level or speaker level out-
puts. For brevity, this guide will usually refer only to a
“receiver,” but the instructions will also apply to any
audio component.
You can connect the Control Module to a receiver’s line
level output (one or two RCA jacks) or its speaker level
outputs, but not both. Always disconnect the AC
power to the Control Module and the subwoofer enclo-
sure before making or changing any connections.
Line Level Connections
For most line level connections, you need a signal
cable with an RCA plug at both ends. Connect the
Control Module in the following ways:
Dolby Digital receiver: Connect a mono signal cable
from the RCA jack output labeled SUB OUT (or possi-
bly labeled LFE or just SUB) on the receiver to the
SUB IN input on the Control Module.
Dolby Surround receiver (with or without Pro Logic):
Connect a signal cable from the SUB OUT RCA jack
(also labeled LINE OUT , AUDIO OUT , or just SUB ) to
the SUB IN input on the Control Module.
Preamplifier/power amplifier: Connect a stereo sig-
nal cable with RCA plugs at each end from the LEFT
and RIGHT preamp outputs to the RIGHT IN and
LEFT IN inputs on the Control Module. Connect
another stereo signal cable from the RIGHT HIGH-
PASS OUT and LEFT HIGH-PASS OUT outputs of
the Control Module to the LEFT and RIGHT inputs on
your stereo power amplifier (or the FRONT LEFT
and FRONT RIGHT inputs of a multi-channel power
amplifier.)
Once your line-level connection is made between the
receiver and Control Module, skip to “Connect the
Subwoofer Enclosure,” page 11.
