Connecting Your PedWoofers
The Atlantic Technology PedWoofer System is relatively simple to hook
up. In all cases, the PedWoofers should be connected to their dedicated
amplifier using high quality 2-conductor speaker wire (min. 16ga.
for runs of 30ft. or less; 30-100ft. use 14ga; Over 100ft use 12ga.) The
remote sensor connector on the back of the PedWoofer is connected to
the dedicated amplifi er using the included plug-in connectors and any
good quality stranded 3-conductor wire (minimum 20ga; for lengths
over 200 ft. use 18ga.).
WARNING:
To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your
equipment, always unplug all component AC cords before pro-
ceeding with speaker and component connections! The last step in
wiring your system should be plugging in the AC cords!
Low Level Connection (LO IN)
We suggest using the low level (RCA jack) subwoofer line out or preamp
output if your receiver/processor has one. This jack may be labeled Sub,
Subwoofer, or LFE (Low Frequency Effects). Simply connect to the LO IN
jack(s) on your SA-8200 or SA-6200 amplifi er with high-quality shielded
cables as shown in Figures 9-11. Please consult your processor/receiver
manual for further information regarding the use of these outputs.
Using the Low Level Thruput (THRU)
If your processor has a single subwoofer output and you are using the
SA-8200 Dual Mono amplifi er, connect it using the example in Figure 9 to
connect both channels of the amplifi er. We have supplied a short jumper
to facilitate this connection method. The THRU jack(s) can also be used
to run the low-level signal through the amplifi er and out to another unit,
as shown in Figure 8. The signal that comes out of the THRU jack(s) is
identical to the input signal.
High Level Connection (HI IN – SA 8200 only)
Alternately, if you are connecting the amplifi er through the high level (HI
IN) inputs, follow the diagram in Figure 12. If you do, we recommend that
you use high-quality speaker wire of at least 18 gauge or heavier. Please
consult your audio/video specialist for more specifi c wire information.
You can connect to the HI IN inputs by using a variety of audio type
connectors, or by removing 1/2" of insulation from each wire end, twist-
ing the individual strands of each conductor together, placing the wire
through one of the post holes and screwing down the nut snugly (but use
care not to over tighten them).
It’s important to observe polarity while making speaker connections:
red (+) terminals on the amplifi er to red (+) on the speaker, black (–)
on the amplifi er to black (–) on the speaker. Note that one wire in each
pair will be marked by either the conductor color, printing on the wire
jacket, a ridge on one side of the wire jacket, or a thread intertwined with
the wire strands. By convention, the marked wire is connected to the red
(+) terminal.
