MAKING
CONNECTIONS
The B12 features gold-plated stereo RCA
line-level inputs to accomodate connec-
tions.
CAUTION
Never make or break connections
unless all system components are
powered off.
• Review the owner’s manuals for
associated audio components to
determine their connection procedures.
Note
Some processors might incorrectly label
the subwoofer output as "LFE." If there is
no subwoofer output, but there is an LFE
output, use the LFE output. Some proces-
sors offer both "Subwoofer" and "LFE" out-
puts. In those cases, the "Subwoofer" out-
put should always be used.
TYPICAL CONFIGURATION WITH
A RECEIVER OR MULTI-CHANNEL
PROCESSOR
Summed (mono) subwoofer connections
are made between one B12 input and the
receiver/processor Subwoofer output as
shown in Figure 14 (right).
To make single-wired connections to a
receiver/processor with a subwoofer out-
put:
• Connect a single cable from the
Subwoofer or LFE output on your
receiver/processor to either the left or
right input on the B12 as shown in
Figure 14 (right).
Note
In this case, you do not need to use a Y-
adapter. Simply connect the subwoofer
output on your receiver/processor to
either the left or right RCA input on the
subwoofer.

TWO-CHANNEL APPLICATIONS
WITHOUT AN EXTERNAL
CROSSOVER
This configuration is for use with 2-chan-
nel pre-amplifier/power amplifier combi-
nations or 2-channel receivers. The inter-
nal low-pass filter in the B12 is used to
limit its frequency range and prevent
undesirable overlap with the main loud-
speakers.
