Wiring with a pre amplifier and separate power amplifier
The ‘pre-amplifier’ RCA input phono sockets on the subwoofer, allows you to
directly connect the subwoofer to line level components such as pre-amplifier,
integrated amplifier and surround sound processors with pre-amplifier outputs. If
you only have one set of pre-amplifier outputs you will need to have a Y connector
(split lead) to feed both the amplifier and subwoofer. The high level output filters do
not work when RCA phono inputs are used.
To connect the subwoofer in this way, simply run a set of shielded RCA - RCA
interconnect cables from the output sockets of your component to the ‘input’
sockets (left and right) on the subwoofer rear panel. See Fig. 4 if you are using two
subwoofers, simply connect one subwoofer per channel.
