Connecting the Theater Bypass / Amp Input
Connect your surround sound receiver’s or processor's Left, Right & Sub(s) preamp output jacks
to the Halo Integrated’s Left, Right & Sub Bypass Input jacks. With a single subwoofer you can
use either the Sub 1 or Sub 2 Input jack. Connect your left and right speakers to the Left and
Right speaker output terminals on the Halo Integrated. Connect your subwoofer(s) to the
subwoofer outputs of the Halo Integrated.
Selecting the Theater Bypass Input
When the Halo Integrated is turned on you can select the Bypass input with the remote control or
with the front panel Input selector knob. The Bypass input will also be automatically routed to the
RCA Pre Output jacks when the unit is turned off in case you are using an external power amplifier
instead of the power amplifier stage in the Integrated. The Halo Integrated must be turned on for
its preamp balanced XLR outputs to function in Bypass mode. This is because the XLR balanced
outputs require active driver circuitry and the unbalanced RCA outputs do not.
CAUTION:
Do not connect any source component such as a CD player, Blu-ray player, tape
deck or tuner directly to the Bypass Input jacks. Since there is no volume control with the
Bypass input the full voltage output from the source will go directly to the Integrated’s
power amplifier. The sound level could be extremely high and could damage your speakers.
