Setting up and Connecting your Subwoofer

Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position before connecting any component.
To some degree, positioning the subwoofer is less critical because it produces only non-

directional low-frequency sounds. However, best results are obtained if the subwoofer is placed 

either between the left and right speakers or in the vicinity of either the left channel or right 

channel speaker.
As with all speakers, moving the 

sub6

 very close to room boundaries will enhance the bass 

frequencies but will tend to muddy the sound. Room characteristics and positioning have a 

profound effect on the performance of the subwoofer, so time and effort devoted to achieving 

the optimum operating position will be rewarded.
In a typical full range application using one subwoofer like the 

sub6

 thru a single wire 

connection, you can connect to either the Left or Right Line Level Input. Connect your stereo 

component such as powered speakers with subwoofer output (e.g. YU2, YU4, YU6), power or 

integrated amplifiers with preamplifier output, or multi-channel home theater receivers with 

subwoofer output. If your components are equipped with both L/R subwoofer outputs or L/R 

preamplifier outputs, we recommend connecting the component to the 

sub6

 by using both 

Left and Right Line Level Input channels.
The Low-Pass Filter Control is used to set the upper limit of the frequencies that 

sub6

 will 

reproduce, typically within the range of 40Hz-120Hz. Refer to your manufacturer’s information 

for the cut-off frequency of your main speakers.
The Phase Switch is normally set to 0°. If the 

sub6

 is positioned significantly farther from the 

main speakers or if the subwoofer is used in a stereo setup where the amplifier driving the main 

speakers inverts the phase signal, the 180° setting may be desirable. Listen with the switch in 

both positions and select the setting that gives the fullest sound. If in doubt, or if there is little 

difference, leave the switch set to 0°.
Follow the instructions on the following page to connect your components to 

sub6

. The 

examples are not meant to be exhaustive - just examples.

ATTENTION

 

When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF.  After connecting all cables, the unit can be 

turned ON.
