4. Connections

2. Stereo line level inputs - RCA Phono sockets

If you are using separate pre- and power amplifiers, or 
have an integrated amplifier with line level pre-amplifier 
outputs, you may connect the subwoofer via its line 
level inputs.

If your pre-amplifier only has a single set of outputs, 
you may use Y connectors to give additional 
connections for the subwoofer.

Use appropriate high quality interconnect cables.

The PV1D requires connection to the mains supply and 
an input signal. A variety of different power cables may 
be packed with your PV1D. Use the one appropriate 
for the mains outlet socket in your territory.

The PV1D accommodates two types of signal input. 
Their applications and socket types are described in 
the following paragraphs. It is possible to connect to 
the line level and speaker level inputs simultaneously, 
as the PV1D enables either input to be selected within 
setup presets.

Section 5 describes the use of setup presets and the 
diagram above illustrates the PV1D connection panel.

1. Speaker level stereo inputs – Molex socket

This option is provided if you are using an integrated 
amplifier with no line level outputs. A special cable is 
supplied that has a Molex plug at one end and bare 
wires at the other. As the input impedance of the PV1D 
is very high compared to a passive loudspeaker load, 
there is no advantage in having a heavier gauge cable 
and the PV1D may be connected in parallel with your 
main speakers without compromising the load on  
the amplifier. 

The colour coding of the free end of the cable is:

Yellow 

Left +

Green 

Left -

Red

Note: On delivery, the PV1D is configured to use 
line level inputs. If you want to use speaker level 
inputs, you must first configure one of the Presets. 
See section 5.4 for more details.
