Connecting Speakers ctnd ..
to move the LPF control higher to blend the highest frequency of
the subwoofer slightly past the lowest frequency of the satellites.
Therefore you would set your sub's LPF control to 90Hz creating a
mid bass coupling between your sub and th rest of your speaker
system.
Volume Control
Balances the loudness of the subwoofer relative to the front
speakers and compensates for room effects on the subwoofer's
output. It should not be necessary to set the level control to
maximum volume to achieve a well balanced installation, but you
may need to adjust when changing between CD's, media and DVD's.
IMPORTANT:
Use Option 1,2 OR 3 but none at the same time.
Option 1: Connection with Audio Cable
-(recommended) This
connection employs a left/ right audio cable. To use this option,
your receiver should include a Subwoofer Outjack,which is typical
of receivers with digital decoding. Make sure the Subwoofer Out on
the receiver is on. Locate the subwoofer output jack on the back of
your receiver. Using a standard audio cable, connect the subwoofer
output on the back of your receiver to the line-in on the back of the
subwoofer. If your receiver is equipped with only one subwoofer out
jack, a Y splitter adapter may be required. Most models include this
adapter. See Option 1 Diagram.
Option 2: Connection with Speaker Wire
- Connect speaker wires
from the receiver's front left and right speaker outputs to the
subwoofer's speaker Level-In connections. Connect left channel to
left input and right channel to right input. You have the option of
connecting your main speakers to the speaker B outputs on your
receiver if it is so equipped. Otherwise, if so equipped you have the
option of connecting to your main speakers using the connections
on the subwoofer. This will send the audio signal to the main
speakers while funneling the low bass frequencies to the subwoofer.
To take advantage of this option,connect your main speakers to the
right and left outputs on the subwoofer. Be sure to maintain proper
signal polarity by connecting the red wire to the red terminal and
black wire to the black terminal. See Option 2 Diagram.
Note:
Acoustic Audio recommends you use at least 16 gauge
speaker wire for Option 2 when hooking your receiver speaker
outputs in making an audio connection to your subwoofer.
