To connect the Ultra-X12 to a Receiver or Processor
without a Subwoofer/LFE preamp output, but with
standard Left and Right preamp outputs:
1.
Make sure all system components are off and the
processor or receiver and Ultra-X12 are unplugged
from their AC power source.
2.
Connect a Y-adapter cable (not included) to the Left
Preamp output on the receiver or processor
3.
Connect a subwoofer cable from one of the two
Y-adapter jacks to the Left SUB IN INTERNAL X-OVER
jack on the rear panel of the Ultra-X12.
4.
If you are using a separate power amplifier,
connect a second audio cable from the remaining
Y-adapter jacks to the Left Input of the amplifier.
5.
Repeat steps 2-4 for the Right Preamp output, SUB
IN INTERNAL X-OVER, and amplifier input jacks.
6.
Proceed to the “Power Connection” section on
page 10.
If no low-level subwoofer output is available, you will need
to run speaker wires from your main amplifier or receiver
to the subwoofer amplifier. Make sure to use the same type
of speaker wire as your other speaker connections.
Be sure to connect the speaker wires to the appropriate
binding posts on the back of the Ultra, making certain that
the polarity (– and +) on the receiver or amplifier matches the
polarity on the binding posts of the subwoofer amplifier. In most
cases this means connecting the red terminal on the receiver or
amplifier to the red terminal on the Ultra, but always check the
markings on the rear panel to insure “+ to +” and “– to –”
connections. Also, make sure that the negative outputs on your
main amp are true ground; otherwise you would short the output
of your main amp. Call or email tech support if the negative
outputs on your main amplifier do not have true ground.

To connect the Ultra-X12 subwoofer using high
level inputs:
1.
Make sure all system components are off and the
processor or receiver and Ultra-X12 are unplugged
from their AC power source.
2.
Using the same type of speaker wire for your other
speaker connections, connect the left and right
channel speaker outputs from your receiver or
amplifier to the Ultra’s HIGH LEVEL INPUTS.
In cases where there are both “A” and “B” terminals on the
amplifier or receiver, the “A” terminals should be used. Dis-
connect any wires presently connected to these terminals.
3.
Using the same type of speaker wire for your other
speaker connections, connect the left and right
front speakers to the PASS-THRU TO LOUDSPEAK-
ERS output terminals on the back of the Ultra-X12.
Make sure to observe correct polarity between the subwoofer
and speaker connections. Also, be sure to prevent any positive
and negative strands of speaker wire from crossing.
