speakers. In most systems, it is not necessary or desirable to use the High Pass
filter. The ActivXo’s Low Pass filter controls, in conjunction with the Bass Equal-
ization and Phase controls (discussed in Section 2), will allow you to successfully
integrate the main loudspeakers with the subwoofer without the use of the High
Pass filter by observing the following:
1. Make sure the ActivXo power is off during the connecting pro-
cess.
2. Locate the input section of the ActivXo on the rear of the unit.
The ActivXo features both balanced (XLR) and single-ended
(RCA) inputs for the High pass section of crossover.
Note: When connecting the ActivXo without the use of the High Pass Filter,
a second output from your preamplifier is required. If your preamplifier
does not have two sets of outputs, consult with your Wilson dealer about
using high quality “Y” connectors to facilitate connecting your unit.
3. From one of the preamp outputs, connect your preamp directly
to your main amplifier.
4. From the second set of preamp outputs, connect both left and
right channels to the Line In of the ActivXo.
5. On the ActivXo front panel, locate the switch labeled “PROCES-
SOR,” “REM,” and “LINE.” Select the “LINE” input.
