Operating the RS15S and RS18S

This example shows a stereo, bi-amp system with an active crossover and separate amplifiers for the mid-high satellites and subwoofers. The 
mixer’s left and right outputs are connected to the inputs of the stereo crossover using shielded cable.  The crossover’s High Frequency outputs 
are connected to the inputs of the mid-high power amplifier using shielded cable.  Next, run un-shielded speaker cables from that amplifier to 
the two satellite speakers.  Now, connect the crossover’s Low Frequency outputs to the inputs of the subwoofer power amplifier using shielded 
cable. The outputs of the sub amplifier are connected to the RS15S or RS18S INPUT using un-shielded speaker cable. For details on wiring your 
speaker cables, see page 42 in this manual.

RS15S and RS18S Stereo Sub, Bi-amp System with Passive Satellites

In this example, the mixer’s left and right outputs are connected to the inputs of the active satellite speakers using shielded cable. Next, con-
nect the mixer’s mono output to the input(s) of the subwoofer power amplifier using shielded cable. Set your power amp’s input mode to 
parallel or use a “Y” cable to connect both amplifier channels. Now, connected the outputs of the sub amplifier to the RS15S or RS18S INPUT 
using un-shielded speaker cable. For details on wiring your speaker cables, see page 42 in this manual.
