Multi-Channel/Stereo Applications – High Level (Speaker Level) Connection
This connection method is for multi-channel/stereo applications where the integrated
pre/pro/amplifier only has high level (i.e., speaker level) outputs.
• Using high quality speaker wire, connect the L/R speaker level outputs from the
integrated amplifier to both the loudspeakers and the subwoofer L/R speaker level inputs on
the subwoofer. This will require running two sets of wires from the outputs of the integrated
amplifier.
• Adjust the low pass filter to blend with the natural roll-off frequency of your
loudspeakers. The manufacturer’s rated bass extension for your loudspeakers is a good
starting point, but final blending is best done by ear.
• Adjust the gain to blend with the level of your loudspeakers.
• Adjust the phase control to obtain the most coherent and stable soundstage and
transition between the loudspeakers and the subwoofer.
