SPEAKER CONNECTION GUIDE
Analog Receiver/Processor –
Line-Level Connections to
HKSUB 12
Use this installation method for
analog receivers or processors
that do not have digital processing
or bass-management programming,
and where the receiver/processor is
equipped with an unfiltered subwoofer
output, or a volume-controlled preamp
(line-level) output:
Use the interconnect cable supplied with
the HKSUB 12 to connect the line-level
subwoofer output on your receiver or
amplifier to
either
the left
or
right
Line-
Level Full-Range Input
£
on the
HKSUB 12 subwoofer. Use both the left
and right inputs on the subwoofer if your
receiver or processor has both left and right
line-level outputs. (You will need to purchase
an additional 15-foot interconnect cable.)
If your receiver is equipped with line-level out-
puts but does not have a separate subwoofer
output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied) to
bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the
main amp input for that channel, and connect
the long end of the adapter to the corre-
sponding line-level input on the HKSUB 12.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the
SUB Input
¢
on the subwoofer with analog receivers
or processors that have a full-range sub-
woofer output, such as models that have
Dolby Pro Logic* surround processing,
but not Dolby Digital processing. However,
if your analog receiver or processor has
a filtered subwoofer output, such as with
THX
®
-certified models, you may connect
it to the
SUB Input
¢
. Consult your
receiver’s or processor’s owner’s manual
for more information.
Make sure that you have configured
your surround sound processor
for “Subwoofer On.”
Connect each speaker to the corresponding
speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier.
When all connections have been made, plug
the
AC Power Cord
on the subwoofer
into an AC outlet.
