Using the line speaker-level
inputs
If you are using a receiver which does not have a
subwoofer output or line level outputs (pre-outs), you
can connect its speaker outputs to the subwoofer's
Speaker-Level inputs. The front speakers can still be
connected to your receiver.
The subwoofer's internal amplifier supplies the power
to reproduce the low frequency range. It receives a
sample of the signal going to your front speakers. (An
insignificant fraction of your receiver's power is
transferred to the subwoofer).
There is no need to use the Speaker Level inputs if
you are using a separate amplifier and pre-amplifier.
Such systems are best connected using the Line
Level Inputs as shown in the previous diagrams.
If you are using the Line Level inputs and there is an
excessive amount of noise or hum present, using the
Speaker Level inputs may yield a lower background
noise level.
