Section 3—Connecting Your ULW-10 Subwoofer

When making your connections, be sure to use a high quality and reliable interconnect cable. It should 
be shielded and long enough to do the job, but not excessively long. Your subwoofer cable is likely to 
be the longest interconnect in your system.  

The simplest connection between a home theater receiver or processor and your ULW-10 Subwoofer is 
directly from the pre-amp output to the LFE input on the ULW-10. See figure 3.1.

If used with a 2-channel integrated amplifier, or any source without a dedicated sub/LFE output, you 
will need to use a Y-splitter to join the L and R low-level output from your preamplifier or receiver.  
Often, 

Tape 

or 

Monitor

 outputs will provide an appropriate low-level stereo signal if the dedicated 

output does not exist. 

Note: you may use the tape out as a last resort as the volume level is fixed and 

you need to adjust the level control on the back of the subwoofer anytime you change the main 
volume control. 

See figure 3.2 below…

NOTE: Please be sure your subwoofer is not plugged in and the rest of your system is turned off.
