Connections 21
Trigger Input (5V–24V DC)
If you have an external source component (such as a processor or
a receiver) with built in trigger controls, you may wish to turn the
subwoofer on and off with this source. Connect a cable from the
control component to this input and set the Mode switch on the
top panel to 'Auto (Trigger)'. Although this technology is commonly
referred to as a 12V trigger, your subwoofer will respond to any
signal between 5–24V DC (3.5mm connector tip positive).
Left In / Right In (Balanced XLR)
Connect from the Main-Out or Pre-Out (or Sub-Out) on your
receiver/pre-amp. The setting for the Low-Pass Filter control is
applied to the signal received through these inputs.
LFE In (Balanced XLR)
Connect from the LFE Out (or Sub Out) on your A/V processor.
The setting for the Low-Pass Filter control is not applied to this
connection. Crossover settings for LFE In are controlled through
your A/V processor.
Left In / Right In (Line Level)
Connect from the Main-Out or Pre-Out (or Sub-Out) on your
receiver/pre-amp. The setting for the Low-Pass Filter control is
applied to the signal received through these inputs.
LFE In / Multi In (Line Level)
Connect from the LFE Out (Sub Out) on your A/V processor.
The setting for the Low-Pass Filter control is not applied to this
connection. Crossover settings for LFE In are controlled through
your A/V processor.
If you are daisy chaining multiple identical subwoofers, you
will use this input to connect from Multi Out on the controlling
subwoofer. Daisy-chaining is discussed later in this manual.
Multi Out
If you are daisy chaining multiple subwoofers this output is used
to connect and control additional subwoofers. Daisy-chaining is
discussed later in this manual.
Left In / Right In (Speaker Level)
This set of inputs provides a place to connect the subwoofer
using standard speaker cable. To use these connections the
speaker cable should be terminated using banana style plugs.
The settings for the Low-Pass Filter control is applied to the signal
received through these inputs.
Break-In
Our custom made woofers require approximately 50 hours of
break-in at moderate listening levels before their optimal perfor-
mance occurs. This will factor in on any critical listening and
judgment. If you intend to use the optional PBK system for room
correction we recommend breaking your new subwoofer in for
the full 50 hours before making final measurements.
AC Power Connection
WARNING!
The power cord should not be
installed, removed, or left detached from the
subwoofer while the other end is connected to an
AC power source.
The IEC cord should be firmly inserted into the AC power recep-
tacle on the rear connection panel of the subwoofer, then to any
convenient AC wall outlet. The subwoofer also integrates a sig-
nal sensing power supply that will go to Standby mode after
approximately 60 minutes of no music signal if the top-panel
power switch is set to 'Auto (Trigger)'.
Your subwoofer is wired for the power service supplied in the
country of original consumer sale. The AC power rating appli-
cable to a particular unit is specified both on the packing carton
and on the serial number plate attached to the subwoofer.
If you remove your subwoofer from the country of original sale,
be certain that AC power supplied in any subsequent location
is suitable before connecting and operating the subwoofer.
Substantially impaired performance or severe damage not cov-
ered under warranty may occur to the subwoofer if operation is
attempted from an incorrect AC power source.
