Connecting the SBX and Your Main Speakers
Most applications will utilize the SBX’s internal Stereo Bass Management
System to realize maximum benefit. There are, however, two possible
operational modes that you may use when connecting your SBX and your
Mains, or “Satellite” stereo speakers, i.e., 1) using the SBX with bass
management and 2) using the SBX without bass management.
Using the SBX with Stereo Bass Management
To take advantage of the SBX’s internal Stereo Bass Management System, your
main monitors become satellites of the subwoofer. Connect the left and right
main or control room outputs of your mixer, sound card, or other audio source
to the Input-L and Input-R jacks of the SBX (#6) respectively. (You may use either
the XLR or TRS inputs, depending upon your cabling needs.) Then, connect
Output-L and Output-R (#9) XLR jacks on the SBX to the inputs on the left and
right satellites.
Once you have completed this setup, you must set the Subwoofer LPF control
knob and the Satellites HPF control knob for your particular needs. Please see
the section, “Optimizing the Rear Panel Settings” for information on how to do
this. Also note that the HPF Bypass switch is set to “Off” in this scenario.
