• This arrangement will reduce the possibility of an
audible hum in your system caused by a ground loop.
• Whenever possible, keep the power cords away
from the signal cable or speaker wires to prevent any
hum or inference being heard in speakers.
• Choose reliable, high quality interconnect cables,
also called patch cords or RCA cables. They should
be fully shielded and as short as possible for the job.
The longest cable in your system will likely be to the
subwoofer, so choose a good quality brand.
• Some patch cords can be a very tight fit and there is
usually a preferred method of getting them off. Some
have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle
or you may damage the jacks of the subwoofer or
your other components.
Speaker Level Connections
• The subwoofer's Speaker Level Inputs can accept
speaker stripped speaker wires only.
• Make sure that the negative speaker wires never
touch the positive wires as this will short out and
possibly damage your amplifier or receiver.
