The subwoofer can be connected to your stereo or surround sound amplifier/receiver in two ways:
1) LINE input: The signal from the amplifier is low pass filtered inside the subwoofer using
one or both of the LINE INPuTS. This way of connecting the subwoofer is typically used for
connecting to a stereo amplifier/receiver.
2) LFE input: The signal from the amplifier is already filtered inside the amplifier when using
the LFE input connector. This way of connecting the subwoofer is typically used for surround
sound (A/V receiver) setups.
note: When the subwoofer is connected to the music/home cinema system, do not power up
the subwoofer until all other components are “ON”.
4.1 Stereo connectIonS
If you want to use DALI SUB K-14 F in a stereo setup, your stereo (pre-) amplifier/receiver should
have either a set of stereo RCA line outputs or a mono RCA line output available (please refer to
the instruction manual of your stereo (pre-)amplifier/receiver). The line output connector(s) of
your stereo (pre-)amplifier/receiver must be connected to the LINE INPUT connectors (L+R) of
the subwoofer via one or two RCA cables (sold separately).

4.2.1 LINE INPuT
Use the LINE INPUT connectors L or R if you want to adjust the subwoofer frequency output
using the DALI SUB K-14 F crossover control.
To use this option, connect the subwoofer output connector(s) of your surround sound (pre-)
amplifier/receiver with the LINE INPUT connectors on the subwoofer using an RCA cable (sold
separately). If the surround sound (pre-)amplifier/receiver has only one subwoofer output
connector, connect it to the LINE INPuT L connector (white) of the subwoofer using an RCA cable.
Please refer to chapter “5.0 Installing and Adjusting” for instructions on how to make the adjustments.
4.2.2 LFE INPuT
Use the LFE input connector (black), if you want to adjust the subwoofer output from your
surround sound (pre-) amplifier/receiver. When the LFE input connector is used, the built-in
crossovers are bypassed and the crossover control will not be functioning.
To use this option, connect the surround sound (pre-) amplifier/receiver subwoofer output to the
LFE input connector on the DALI SUB K-14 F with an RCA cable (sold separately).
Please refer to the instruction manual of your surround sound (pre-) amplifier/receiver on how
to adjust the crossover settings.
4.3 uSInG tWo DaLI SuB K-14 f SuBWooferS
In most cases you will achieve excellent results with one DALI SUB K-14 F. Use of two subwoofers
is possible as a no-compromise stereo solution, or for reproduction of very powerful sound
pressures in a stereo or surround setup in larger rooms.
