SUBWOOFER CONNECTION
OPTION 1-
Receivers that include a “Sub Out” feature- the most
common hookup method with Dolby Digital receivers.
NOTE: Use either the L or R Line input (another
hookup option is to use a Y-split cable and connect
both L and R Line inputs). After you make this Sub
Out connection, turn the “Low Pass” filter fully clock-
wise.
Connect all speakers directly to the receiver. When
using method no.1, adjust your receiver’s speaker
configurations as follow: Set Front, Center and
Surround speakers to “small” or “large” according to
speaker size and bandwidth.
- Receiver Settings:
-Front, Center and Surrounds= “small/large”.
-Subwoofer=”ON”, or “YES”, or “PRESENT”
-Set the crossover frequency on the receiver to
60-120Hz dependng on speaker bandwidth.
Consult your receiver’s owners manual for speaker
configuration.
normally a satelite speaker would be set to “small”
and “big”/ floor standing speaker, would be set to
“large”.
*Imortant Note:
Use only one of these options.
Never combine hookup options.
OPTION 2-
Two channel or more receivers with no “Sub Out”.
If you select to use the speaker level input , use two-con-
ductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wires. see your Morel dealer
for wire recommendations.
Strip 1/2’’ (12mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors
on both ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of
each conductor to form two un-frayed strands.
- Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiv-
er to the speaker high level input of the powered subwoofer
using speaker wire.
- Then, connect the left and right front speakers using speaker
wire from the speaker high level outputs from the powered
subwoofer.
Adjust subwoofer level and frequency low pass to match speak-
ers level and frequency to create the best bass reproduction.
NOTE: One of the speaker input terminals on the rear of the
speaker is remarked red (+) and the other black (-). Make
certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of
your receiver to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the
wire from the black (-) terminal of the receiver to the black (-)
terminal of the speaker. Speaker wire has some indication (such
as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conduc-
tors to help maintain consistency. If your subwoofer doesn’t
seem to produce much bass, it is most likely that one of the
speaker wires is connected backwards. Double check all
connections for correct polarity.
