The SuperNova MKV subwoofer is hand assembled using high density fiber boards. The cabinet is crafted to exact tolerance for
near nil vibration. The SUPERNOVA's unsurpassed performance stems from:

*600 watts class “D”, high efficiency (99%) power amplifier
*Optical Distortion Limiting circuitry (ODL). A patented process that converts the analog audio signal to

light and optically couple it to the driver stage. When users set the gain too high, the ODL prevents the
amp from clipping; thus limiting distortion to near nil levels

*24 dB / Octave variable filter from 50 Hz to 150 Hz
*Low level inputs/outputs
*High level inputs/outputs
*Auto Signal Sensing
*0-180º Phase Switch
*Volume Control
*Vari-position remote control sensor allows users to position the remote eye anywhere in the room.

Connecting Your SuperNova

Low Level -RCA- Audio Input Connection:

This is the best way to drive an audio signal into the

. Today, all signal processors (5.1/6.1 and

more advanced ones) come equipped with built-in pre-
amplifier outputs (RCA) that include a subwoofer output.

Generally, the SUB/OUT is in mono format. Connect

the SUB/OUT from the processor to the

using

a “Y” connector to feed both RCA inputs of the

. However, you can connect the

one RCA input as well.

We strongly recommend that you use the best

available RCA connectors and cables. High quality cables are
normally triple shielded and the connectors are gold plated
with forceful grasping.

High level audio input connection:

This is the least desired way to drive an audio signal

into the

subwoofer. Older stereo systems are

not equipped with pre-amplifier audio outputs, normally they
come with stereo speaker outputs (left & right).

Using “banana” plugs, connect the speaker outputs to

the corresponding MKV high level inputs (marked “FROM
RECEIVER”).
