LFE/Sub Out Connection : This is the most popular method for connecting a subwoofer and is used
with most stereo receivers, surround receivers, and some integrated amplifiers.
This method requires setup in the bass management section of the receiver to determine which
frequencies are sent to the subwoofer and speakers. Speakers can be set to large or small, the
crossover point can be set, and even the volume output are all regulated within the bass management
section. Set Volume to 80%, Crossover to its highest point, and Phase at 0 on the subwoofer when
using it in conjunction with any type of bass management or room correction software.
Pre-Out connection: This method is typically used with integrated amplifiers and some stereo
receivers. The speakers will continue to reproduce bass frequencies and you must use the
subwoofer’s controls to find the perfect blend between it and the speakers.
Stereo Pre-Out (FIG 2)
: If the amplifier/receiver is equipped with stereo (Right and Left) Pre Outputs
then it can be connected to the subwoofer’s right and left inputs with a stereo RCA wire. This is a
common connection with integrated amplifiers.

Prior to making any connections ensure the power switch is set to OFF and the VOLUME dial is set
to its minimum value.
CONNECTIONS
LFE/Sub Out Connection (FIG 1): This is the simplest and most common connection. It works for any
receiver or amp with a dedicated subwoofer output. Use a subwoofer cable to connect the
amp/receiver’s SUB or LFE Output to the L/LFE (Low Frequency Effect) input on the sub.
