Using the SP-8S with Stereo Bass Management

To take advantage of the SP-8S’s internal Stereo Bass Management System, your
main monitors become satellites of the subwoofer. Connect the left and right
main or control room outputs of your mixer, sound card, or other audio source to
the Input-L and Input-R jacks of the SP-8S (#6) respectively. (You may use either
the XLR or TRS inputs, depending upon your cabling needs.) Then, connect
Output-L and Output-R (#9) XLR jacks on the SP-8S to the inputs on the left and
right satellites

Once you have completed this setup, you must set the Subwoofer LPF control
knob and the Satellites HPF control knob for your particular needs. Please see
the section, “Optimizing the Rear Panel Settings” for information on how to do
this. Also note that the HPF Bypass switch is set to “Off” in this scenario.

Using the SP-8S without Stereo Bass Management

You may wish to use the SP-8S with an existing external bass management
system, or with bass management defeated on the SP-8S.  See section, “Setting
the HPF Bypass Switch” for more information on defeating bass management.

With bass management defeated, you may still use the speaker setup illustrated
above. With the HPF Bypass switch set to “On,” the L & R XLR Outputs will
operate in a “Thru” mode, passing the original signal at the Input section directly
