Auto-On/Standby or Always-On –
Your subwoofer will turn on when it receives an input signal — eliminat-
ing the need for a power switch. If no signal is sensed for a period of time, the subwoofer will automatically
switch off. See “Powering Up the Subwoofer” section below for more details.
High Pass Filter –
Your subwoofer is equipped with a Speaker-Level high pass fi lter set at approximately 120
Hz (depends on the impedance of the connected speaker) which is used when you wire the Speaker-level
inputs of your subwoofer and the Speaker-Level Outputs to your main Left and Right speakers.
Connection
Options
Before connecting your subwoofer, please read this section to determine which setup option best suits your
needs. (See your dealer if you require additional information or assistance.)
Line-Level Input From Sub/LFE Output –
For use with a receiver, processor or subwoofer control unit that has
a Sub-Out/LFE-Out jack - Using an RCA-to-RCA interconnect cable connect the subwoofer as shown. Most
a/v receivers, preamps and processors feature a mono (line level) Sub/LFE output intended to be used with
subwoofers. You can feed this Sub/LFE output of you’re a/v receiver or processor to the Sub/LFE input on
the subwoofer and achieve full per-
formance. These outputs have their
own low-pass fi lter built into
the circuit as part of their bass man-
agement setup. The Sub/LFE inputs
on your ForceField subwoofer are
direct coupled inputs which are not
affected by the subwoofer’s cross-
over control (low-pass fi lter)
.
If the sub output on your receiver
is full range (does not have a low-
pass crossover - or you wish to use
the ForceField subwoofer’s low-
pass crossover), then you must
hook up using the Speaker-Level
Inputs and Outputs.
