Connecting loudspeakers
In Home Cinema systems the bass management - meaning the distribution of the low
frequencies to the subwoofer and the speakers - is handled by the settings of the
processor/receiver. If your equipment does not provide bass management, or if you
want to use the SUB 250 together with a common stereo, the low frequency
adjustment of the connected speakers can be managed by the SUB 250. This not
only improves the sound by matching subwoofer and speakers, but also by freeing
the power amplifier and connected speakers from the effects of sound-compromising
bass reproduction. Also refer to the further explanations in the chapter “Connecting
the subwoofer” on page 7.
Connecting speakers
1. Connect the subwoofer with the processor/receiver as explained in “Connecting a
single subwoofer” on page 8.
2. From the Subwoofer
SAT Output
connect a RCA cable to the
Main In
of the
power amplifier you use for your speakers.
Operation

Automatic mode
After switching on the SUB 250 is in Automatic mode:
•
When a music signal is detected, the internal amplifier is activated automatically.
The status LED on the rear of the subwoofer will light up green.
As long as a music signal is available on the subwoofer’s input, it will remain
switched on.
•
After 15 to 20 minutes of not sensing any input music signal, the subwoofer will
switch itself to Standby mode automatically.
The status LED on the rear of the subwoofer will light up red
Note:
•
Stereos do not have a LFE channel. In this case just connect the front outputs of
the processor/receiver (Front Out/Pre Out) with the subwoofer.
•
The signals connected to the
SAT/SUB Input
are provided at the
SUB I/O - LFE/To
Slave
output for connecting another subwoofer. See page 8 to learn more about
connecting multiple subwoofers.
