SUBWOOFER CONNECTION
SAFETY PRECAUTION: Before proceeding with this section,
be sure to read and follow all safety precaution notices and
warnings at the beginning of this manual.
Turn all components OFF before connecting the
subwoofer.
NOTE: Speakers set to “Large” with your processor or A/V receiver will
still be reproducing bass frequencies—be careful not to overdrive them!
We recommend the use of high-quality cables and connectors. (See
your Dealer for more information).
INPUT FACILITIES:
Speaker Level Input
Can be used to connect to any stereo amplifier when a dedicated subwoofer output
is not present or desired. This connection will not place any additional load on your
speaker amplifier.
Balanced XLR Input
Used to connect to the Balanced XLR Sub/LFE Output of your Preamplifier/Processor
or other suitable low-level source. While this connection provides the lowest level of
noise, please remember that this connection does use the on board low pass filter
settings, so this will need to be configured in the device connected to the XR subwoofer.
Line Level Input (LFE In)
Used to connect to the RCA “Subwoofer Out” of your Preamplifier/Processor or other
suitable low-level source. As with the XLR input, this is an LFE input which does not use
the subwoofer’s on board low pass filter. The low pass filter will need to be configured
in the device connected to the XR subwoofer. Typically, “Subwoofer Out” connections
will have this enabled by default.
Line Level Input (Left/Right)
Used to connect to the RCA output of your Preamplifier/Processor or other suitable low-
level source. This connection does use the onboard low pass filter of the XR subwoofer.
This connection should be used when the device connected to the XR subwoofer does
not have a low pass filter present or it cannot otherwise be adjusted to your preference.
