6.  A Tour of the SUB 8 

Universal Amplifier 
and I/O

1. 

LEFT / RIGHT XLR IN

 - These XLR inputs should be connected to 

the left / right output of your console or digital workstation.  The 
inputs  are  electronically  balanced.    Do  not  connect  more  than 
one source to these inputs.  Refer to page 6 for more information 
[System Signal Connection].

2. 

LEFT / RIGHT XLR OUT

- These XLR outputs should be connected 

to the inputs of your left / right nearfield monitors.  The outputs are 
electronically balanced. [System Signal Connection].

3. 

VARIABLE / SAT 5 FILTER SWITCH 

- This switch is used to either 

activate  the  variable  state  filters,  or  activate    the  fixed  80Hz  low 
pass filter that is required for use with the SAT 5.  If you are using the 
SUB 8 Universal with the SAT 5, it must be set to the SAT 5 position.  
Additionally, you will also need to set the 80Hz High Pass Filter on 
the SAT 5 so that it is “in” circuit.

4. 

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH- 

This switch can be set to either 115 

Volts or 230 volts. Prior to powering this unit, please confirm that 
the Voltage selector switch, located on the back of the subwoofer, 
has  been  set  to  the  correct  voltage  setting.    If  you  are  unsure  of 
the type of power that is supplied to your home / studio, consult 
your  product  dealer  or  local  power  company.    If  your  changing 
the Voltage, please also confirm the proper fuse is installed [see 
number 6].

5. 

POWER  SWITCH  - 

Controls  the  power  to  the  amplifier  and  all 

internal electronics. 

6. 

FUSE  - 

Replace with same rating and type for your local voltage 

rating.  For 115V applications use a 2 Amp T 250V and for 230 Volt 
applications use a 1.25 Amp T 250V fuse.

7. 

 

IEC RECEPTACLE

 - Check voltage selector switch before connecting 

power.  Connect  to  115  Volt  AC  /  60Hz  power  source,  rated  for 
200 WATTS or 230 Volt / 50Hz rated for 200 WATTS.  Only use the 
supplied power cord or an IEC approved power cord with a safety 
ground pin.

8. 

AMPLIFIER HEATSINK- 

The heatsink provides essential cooling to 

the amplifier inside the SUB 8 Universal.  Please ensure that proper 
air circulation is available for proper cooling.

9. 

VARIABLE  CUTOFF  FREQUENCY  CONTROL  KNOBS  - 

These 

controls are for adjusting the dual 24dB per octave low and high-
pass filters.  The cutoff frequency can be adjusted from 50Hz to 
160Hz.  It is recommended that the SUB 8 Universal filters be set 
one octave above the natural roll off of the nearfield monitors that 
are being used with the SUB 8 Universal. To activate these variable 
filters,  the  VARIABLE  /  SAT  5  FILTER  SWITCH  -  must  be  in  the  up 
position (VARIABLE).  For more information see item 10 on page 4 
[Quick Setup / with universal filter instructions].

10. 

SUB  GAIN  - 

This  knob  controls  the  input  sensitivity  of  the 

subwoofer  amplifier  only.    When  set  to  the  reference  position  a 
100mV signal at the input equals 90dB output at a meter.

11. 

SUB  Out  - 

This  balanced  XLR  output  can  feed  additional 

subwoofers  for  increased  bass  performance  and  should  be 
connected to the SUB IN of an additional Blue Sky SUB 8 / SUB 8 
Universal. The output contains the summed low passed subwoofer 
output and the SUB IN audio.

12. 

SUB IN - 

This XLR input can be connected to either the subwoofer 

output  of  an  external  bass-management  controller,  or  the  “daisy-
chain”  output  of  a  SUB  8  /  SUB  8  Universal.    This  input  is  full-
bandwidth (up to approximately 200Hz) and does not use a low 
pass filter.
