Connection Method #1
Use this method when you are
using the AAS88 with your main
receiver/amplifier. Connect the
main left and right speaker-
level outputs on your receiver/
amplifier to the Input 1 (for left
channel) and Input 2 (for right
channel) connectors on the
AAS88 loudspeaker or connec-
tion panel. Connect the Output 1
terminals to the corresponding
terminals on your front left
speaker, and the Output 2
terminals to the corresponding
terminals on your front right
speaker.
You may wish to mount the
AAS88 horizontally to preserve
the stereo image of the left and
right low frequencies.
The AAS88’s onboard cross-
over feeds the low-passed
signal (2nd order at 100Hz) to
the AAS88 subwoofers, and
the high-passed signal to the
speaker-level outputs for
connection to the satellite
speakers.
