Phase
In order to maintain the phase relationship and frequency
balance of the loudspeaker system, both loudspeakers must
be properly connected to the power amplifier. When properly
connected, the cones of the drivers of both loudspeakers will
move in the same direction when driven by identical speakers
will move in the same signals. If the cones move in opposite
directions, the resulting out of phase signals will create a per-
ceptible power loss, particularly in the low frequencies. the
stereophonic message will also be degraded. Amplifier and
speaker manufacturers typically indicate connection pola-
rity in one of two ways: red and black or plus and minus.
In either case, always connect red or plus to red or plus and
black or minus to black or minus. Connections should be
identical for both channels. to check that the speakers are
in correct phase, switch the system to mono while music is
being played. if the amplifier does not have a phase inver-
sion switch, it will be necessary to
change over the connections on
one only of the loudspeakers. If in
correct phase, the image should
be distinctly located between the
loudspeakers with a slight loss of
bass and low midrange level. If the
image is confused and not cen-
trally located and there is a dras-
tic loss of bass and low midrange
level, recheck your connections.

Subwoofer positioning
With a crossover point below or around 150 hz, the instal-
lation position of subwoofers is not limited as human ears
and brains are not able to identify the emitting point of such
low frequencies. to get the best result, it is recommended to
try different positions and choose the one giving the best res-
ponse in the low frequencies, taking into account the room
acoustics.
hooking up the subwoofer
2 possibilities are offered to connect the subwoofer with your
system:
the low level one requiring the use of the Cinch RCA lINe IN
7
and lINe Out
8
terminals and shielded coaxial connectors,
the high level one requiring the use of the FROM ReCeI-
VeR
9
and tO SPeAKeRS
0
terminals and standard
loudspeaker cables.
the inputs are stereo ones, the mix of the l (left) and R (right)
low frequencies being done by the amplifier of the subwoofer.
If the input signal is already mono, only one input l (left) or R
(right) should be used.

If your preamplifier or your integrated amplifier is fitted with a
stereo low-level output, then connect its l (left) and R (right)
outputs to the l (left) and R (right) lINe IN

inputs of
the subwoofer. If your amplifier offers a one mono output,
connect it to either the l (left) or the R (right) subwoofer

thus be used to bring the signal to the amplifier powering the
main loudspeaker.

If the preamp section of your hi Fi or audio-video system is
not fitted with a low level output, you should then connect
the subwoofer by using its loudspeaker terminals. When
connecting the l (left) and R (right) speaker outputs of your
amplifier to the FROM ReCeIVeR
9
plugs of the subwoofer,
be careful not to cross (-) and (+) cord of either l (left) or R
(right) channel. Such a phase inversion might damage your
main amplifier.
Attention
before operating the unit,
be sure that the
operating voltage
of your unit is identical
with that of your local
power voltage.
