Speaker Outputs
2.
The Line Level Input/Output L/R connectors on the back
panel accept the signal from your receiver/amplifier and
filter it using the Tantra subwoofer’s internal LPF and HPF
crossover filters. This method is appropriate if you’re certain
the audio signal to the sub is not crossover-filtered (meaning
there is no low-pass filtering).
3.
Sources connected to the left and right Line Level Inputs
can be forwarded to other components or amplifiers by
connecting to the corresponding Line Level Output jacks.
If your receiver or amplifier has a built-in preamplifier, the
left and right Pre-amp inputs can be connected to the Line
Level Outputs
(see Diagram 3).
Use the Hi Pass Frequency
control on the subwoofer front panel to adjust the highpass
crossover.
Connecting The Speaker Wires
1.
Follow these instructions when using the Speaker Level
Outputs of your receiver or amplifier for connection to
the Tantra subwoofer.
(See Diagram 4)
For best results in
runs up to 75’, use speaker wire of at least 18-gauge. For
runs exceeding that distance, we recommend the use of
14-gauge wire. However, wire larger than 14-gauge is not
recommended because it may not fit into the subwoofer
terminals. For best results, strip all wire insulation no more
than 3/8” from the end before inserting the wire into the
terminals.
2.
Strip 3/8” of the insulation from the end of the speaker
wire.
3.
Connect the wires from the other speakers in the system
to the back panel and connect the wires from the sub to
the receiver/amplifier. Please observe the proper polar-
ity of the connections, matching positive (+) to positive
and negative (-) to negative
(see Diagram 5)
. Two termi-
nal blocks on the back panel—Speaker Level Input and
Speaker Level Output (the latter with a high-pass crossover
point set at 130Hz), each with its own positive and negative
L/R jacks—let you route the signal from the amplifiers to the
front left and right speakers using the sub to fill in the bass
frequencies below 130 Hz.
Other Features
1. Audio Sense.
The Tantra can automatically sense when
audio signals are present at it’s Speaker, Line, or LFE Inputs.
When the Audio Sense Toggle Switch is set to the “Audio
Sense” position, the Tantra will turn On within 1 second when
audio starts from the receiver/amplifier and will turn Off in 1
to 2 minutes after audio stops (receiver/amplifier is turned
Off). When the Audio Sense Toggle Switch is set to “Always
On”, the Tantra will always stay on, unless turned Off by the
IR remote or the main Power switch.
2. In Trigger.
When a 3.5mm plug is inserted into the In
Trigger jack, the Tantra can be turned On and Off by an ex-
ternal voltage source of 4 to 30V DC. Such a trigger source
may be a trigger output on your Receiver/Amp or a small
DC power supply plugged into an Aux. AC Outlet that is
switched On and Off with the Receiver/Amp.
3. Direct IR Control.
The sensor for the internal IR Receiver
on the Tantra subwoofer front panel is located between
the LPF and HPF controls
(see Diagram 7).
It can be used
for direct IR control of the Tantra using the included remote
control, if conditions permit. You must have a direct line of
site view to the Tantra IR sensor. This sensor will also function
when the IR RCVR and Ext. IR Inputs are connected.
