Connecting Your Subwoofer

-6-

Low level -RCA-  audio input connection:

This is the best way to drive an audio signal into the Kompressor 

subwoofer. Today, all  signal processors(5.1/6.1 and more advanced ones) 
come equipped with built-in  pre-amplifier outputs (RCA) that include a 
subwoofer output. 

Generally, the SUB/OUT is in mono format. As shown in the 

photos  across,  connect  the  SUB/OUT  from  the  processor  to  the 
Kompressor  using  a  "Y"  connector  to  feed  both  RCA  inputs  of  the 
subwoofer.

We  strongly  recommend  that  you  use  the  best  available  RCA 

connectors and cables. High quality cables are normally triple shielded,  
and  the  connectors  are  gold  plated  with  forceful  grasping  (refer  to 
Earthquake  line  of  accessories-  SI  superior  Interconnect  -  at 
www.earthquakesound.com). 

High level audio input connection:

This  is  the  least  desired    way  to  drive  an 

audio signal into the  subwoofer. Older stereo systems 
are  not  equipped  with  pre-amplifier  audio  outputs, 
normally they come with stereo speaker outputs (left 
& right).

Using  "banana"  plugs,  connect  the  speaker 

outputs  to  the  corresponding  Subwoofer  high  level 
inputs  (marked  "FROM  RECEIVER).  In  this 
configuration, the front stereo speakers (towers) can 
be powered up by connecting them to the subwoofer   
speaker  outputs  (marked  "TO  SPEAKERS").  The 
amount  of  power  (watts)    driven    into  the  stereo 
speakers (towers) is identical to the amount of power 
(watts) fed into the SuperNova from the stereo system 
(ratio 1:1).        

RCA connection from Processor to

a Kompressor using a "Y" connector. 

AC power connection:

The SuperNova subwoofer is available in two models: 

110V  and  220V/24.  The  power  socket  if  fused  to  protect  the 
amplifier  from  surges.  Do  not  overfuse,  replace  the  fuse  with 
identical value.
