SuperSub XXL Manual
Subwoofer Connection
We recommend the use of high-quality cables and connectors when hooking up your subwoofer
(see your dealer).
INPUT/OUTPUT FACILITIES
Left/LFE Line-Level (RCA) Input –
Allows connection from the Sub/LFE Output of an A/V receiver, processor or
other suitable low-passed, low-level source.
Left and Right Line-Level (RCA) Inputs –
Allows connection from the Left/Right preamp outputs of your receiver
or processor, or integrated amplifi er, for use in a stereo (rather than home theater) system.
CONTROL FACILITIES
Your GoldenEar Technology SuperSub XXL subwoofer is equipped with operating controls on the back panel to
ensure excellent fl exibility and maximum performance in any installation. Most of them are the “set and forget”
type, although you may occasionally fi nd certain controls require minor adjustments.
Subwoofer Level –
This is a volume control, use it to balance the subwoofer output level to best blend with your
other speakers. For suggestions on setting the Subwoofer Controls once your subwoofer has been connected
refer to the section on “Fine Tuning” on page 13.
Crossover Control –
Controls the subwoofer’s upper-frequency cut-off. This control (low-pass fi lter) is continuously
variable between 40 and 150 Hz. This low pass fi lter control is used to obtain the optimum transition between
the subwoofer and your main speakers
when the subwoofer is connected using the Left/Right Inputs and the input
switch is selected for Left/Right input use (see fi gure below).
We receive many questions from subwoofer owners
asking us where to set the fi lter controls in a variety of different setups. Although many people think that there is a
specifi c frequency at which to set the controls in their system, this can only be determined by you. Experimenta-
tion is recommended (due to system placement and subjective variables) to obtain the best sound for you. See
the “Fine Tuning” section on page 13 for some suggestions.
