Page: 5 / 16

The “LFE +10 dB” function should not be

used in the following cases:

• If the +10 dB LFE gain is already

implemented by another device, for
example, a surround sound processor or
the output matrix of a mixing console.

• When producing an audio format that

does not require the use of +10 dB gain
on the LFE channel.

Bypass

The Bypass input accepts a 6.3 mm tip-ring-
sleeve (TRS) or tip-sleeve (TS) plug. This
plug supports a contact open/close switch
device. Connecting the TIP to the SLEEVE
activates the bass management bypass.
When the bass management bypass is
active, the subwoofer only reproduces the
LFE signal and the outputs bypassed to the
monitors are exact copies of the inputs.
