Amplifiers with a dedicated Subwoofer output:
Connect the "LFE" or "Sub" output on your home cinema receiver. to the
LFE In socket of the Mezzo 9 subwoofer using a high quality mono
phono/RCA cable. When this input is used the low pass filter in the
subwoofer is deactivated, all other adjustments for level, phase, etc. are
still available.
Chaining multiple subwoofers
It is possible to chain multiple Mezzo 9 subwoofers whichever connection
type you are using.
If using the Line Inputs connect the "Line Out" output of Mezzo 9
subwoofer to the "Line In" sockets on your other subwoofer with a Stereo
Phono/RCA lead.
If using the LFE Input connect the "LFE Out" output of Mezzo 9 subwoofer
to "LFE In" sockets on your other subwoofer with a mono Phono/RCA
lead.

LFE or Sub out
If using High Level In, connect another set of cables from the Left and
Right High Level Inputs of the Mezzo 9 to the Left and Right High Level
Inputs of the next subwoofer. Alternatively connect another set of cables
from the amplifier outputs to the Left and Right High Level Inputs of the
next subwoofer. In either case the subwoofer inputs are simply in parallel
to each other and in parallel to the main speakers.
or:
Trigger In / Out
The Mezzo 9 features a trigger input that allows its power status to be
remotely controlled by a home cinema receiver or other unit that has a
trigger output. The trigger input is positive edge triggered, inputting
5-12V DC to "Trigger In" will turn the unit On, removing the trigger voltage
will put the unit into Standby. A trigger output allows the signal to be
looped on to further units if desired. See later section for full details.
Note: The Trigger Input feature is disabled in Automatic power mode, see
later sections for details.
