Integration into stereo or surround speaker systems
For stereo or multi-channel operation, the channels connected to the BASIS 11K, BASIS 13K or
BASIS 14K will pass through the active crossover of the subwoofer. Here, the bass frequencies of
the signals are filtered and played back via the bass system. The main and surround speakers are
relieved in the bass range.
For stereo operation, the left and right channels of your audio source are connected to the input
jacks CH1 and CH2 on the BASIS 11K,
BASIS 13K or BASIS 14K (7). Connect the speakers of the two
stereo channels to the output jacks CH1 and CH2 (8). Please note that the inputs and outputs CH1
and CH2 are not interchanged when connecting to each other. The following table shows a circuit
example for stereo operation:

If you want to integrate your subwoofer into surround speaker systems, please use our multichannel
bass processor BCU 7.1. Connect the device to the MPI socket (9) on the BASIS 11K
, BASIS 13K or
BASIS 14K using the cable supplied with the BCU 7.1. The device can control up to 7 channels. The
BCU 7.1 is not included but can be ordered from your dealer.

Bass extension
Our subwoofers BASIS 11K, BASIS 13K and BASIS 14K enable the parallel operation of other BASIS
models. The bass extension results in an acoustic doubling of performance and a more even sound
field distribution
, especially in acoustically less attenuated rooms.
The extension can be realized with our active bass systems BASIS 11K, BASIS 13K and BASIS 14K as
well as with the passive subwoofers BASIS 11KP, BASE 13KP and BASIS 14KP. The passive subwoofer
can be connected to its active BASIS 11K, BASIS 13K or BASIS 14K via a Speakon input on the rear
panel.
For parallel operation of a second active BASIS model,
the LFE output (8) is provided on the amplifier
unit. With this option, the second subwoofer can be controlled separately. For bass extension with
a passive woofer please use the Speakon output (11). The room acoustics adjustment of the
BASIS 11KP, BASIS 13KP and BASIS 14KP are is carried out via their central bass unit. The maximum
power of 1000 W of the active BASIS model will in this case be split between the two subwoofers.

Remote switch
The remote switch is not included as the controller is not required for normal operation. You can
order this from your dealer. The switch is only needed if a playback of the program material without
bass support is provided. Turning on the controller will directly connect the stereo speakers and, if
