Multiple subwoofer connections

The BM14S can be used stand-alone or together with multiple subwoofer units. 

Using multiple units may be helpful if the listening room is quite large or has difficult 

acoustic conditions. 
When using two or more subwoofers, the first one (designated “Master”) controls the 

following subs (designated “Slave”) via a subwoofer cable.

To connect multiple subwoofers:
1.

Connect the first subwoofer as described before. 

2.

Set 

Mode

 switch of first subwoofer to 

LFE

.

3.

From the 

Slave 

output of the first subwoofer connect a XLR cable to the 

LFE/Slave 

input of the following subwoofer. This one now becomes the slave.

4.

Set the 

Mode

 switch of the second subwoofer to 

Slave.

X

Further subwoofers can be connected in the same way. Set the 

Mode

 switch of 

all following subwoofers to 

Slave 

respectively.

Note:

• You can also use both connection types. The signals will be combined in 

the BM14S and routed accordingly. This allows the BM14S to reproduce 

both the LFE channel information as well as the bass range of the 

connected satellite system.

• Use 

Slave

 mode if you want to use an external bass management 

system.

Note:

• When using multiple subwoofers in a Master-Slave setup, it is 

recommended that the subwoofers are all the same model.

• If you wish to use multiple subwoofers with full individual control, set the 

Input switch for all to the 

LFE

 position. From the source subwoofer 

output, use a Y-connector.

Connecting as LFE channel (1)

  – Connect subwoofer to LFE/Slave input.

Connecting as subwoofer for satellites (2)

  – Connect full bandwidth signal to SAT/SUB input.
   Sub reproduces sum of right and left signal.
  – Set the Mode switch to LFE.

Notes:
  – You can also use both connection types. The signals will 

be combined in the BM14S II and routed accordingly. This 
allows the BM14S II to reproduce both the LFE channel 
information  as  well  as  the  bass  range  of  the  connected 
satellite system.

  – Use Slave mode if you want to use an external bass man-

agement system.
