(8) High Level Inputs
Under normal conditions, the preferred connection is
through the Line Level inputs. If this is difficult or not
possible in your system, then you can use the
Speaker Level inputs. Also, if you experience
excessive noise or hum with the Line Level input,
often a simple change to the Speaker Level input will
result in a lower background noise level.
Connect the Speaker Level inputs to the speaker-level
outputs of your amplifier or receiver using speaker
wire. The binding posts can accept bare wire
connections only.
(9) High Level Outputs
High Level: Connecting the Subwoofer using the high
level speaker connections: On the rear of your MiniMe
Subwoofer are two pairs of red and black binding
posts. One set is marked “Input” and one set is
marked “Output”, with each pair designated as left or
right. Each post is color-coded black/red. These
terminals will accept up to 16-gauge quality speaker
wire. The Inputs should be connected to the left and
right speaker terminals of your amplifier or receiver.
The Outputs should run from the subwoofer to the left
and right satellite speakers. Remember: Always
connect red-to-red and black-to-black, when making
connections between an amplifier/receiver to the
subwoofer. If you inadvertently reverse one of the
connections (i.e., red-to-black), you will notice a lack
of bass from your subwoofer.

In the “ON” position, the subwoofer will remain “on”
constantly or can turn “on” and “off” automatically
when the “AUTO/ON” circuit is engaged. In the “OFF”
