Please consider the following  

when setting up your new system:

• 

before making or changing any 

connections, always make sure that the 

subwoofer and your other components 

are turned off. Also turn down the 

volume control of the subwoofer and 

your preamplifier or receiver.

• 

This diagram shows all of the low-power 

components sharing a power strip which 

is connected to the same outlet by the 

amplifier.

 

• 

The subwoofer is connected to an outlet 

on the same circuit breaker, provided 

that the total system current draw does 

not exceed the breaker current rating.

• 

This arrangement will reduce the 

possibility of an audible hum in your 

system caused by a ground loop.

• 

Whenever possible, keep the power 

cords away from the signal cables  

or speaker wires to prevent any hum  

or interference being heard in  

the speakers.

• 

Choose reliable high-quality 

interconnect cables, also called patch 

cords or RCA cables. They should be 

fully shielded and as short as possible 

for the job. The longest cable in your 

system will likely be to the subwoofer, 

so choose a good quality brand.

• 

Some patch cords can be a very tight  

fit and there is usually a preferred 

method of getting them on and off. 

Some have to be removed with a 

twisting action. be gentle or you may 

damage the jacks of the subwoofer  

or your other components.
