Sub-woofer Connections 

 

 

When  selecting  cables  for  use  with  your  PMC  sub-woofer,  ensure  that  they  are  adequately  shielded,  which  is 
particularly  important  if  single-ended  runs  are  used  and  that  their  construction  is  of  a  high  enough  standard  to 
withstand the rigors of everyday use. 

 

First, decide which type of input you will be using: 

 

Balanced (XLR) 

 

Input Selector

: ‘BAL’ (switch in the out position. This can be found under the flap at the top rear of the unit)

 

 
The TLE1 can be connected to an amplifier, pre-amplifier, receiver or surround processor using balanced (XLR) inter-
connect cables.  Balanced cables are recommended wherever possible due to their inherent superiority and noise 
rejection, which is particularly important if long cable runs are required.  

 
 

 

 
 
 

 

OR 

 

Unbalanced / Single-ended (RCA/Phono) 

 

Input Selector

: ‘UNBAL’ (switch in the in position. This can be found under the flap at the top rear of the unit

)

 

 

Single-ended  (RCA)  connections  are  still  the  most  common  method  of  routing  signals  from  an  amplifier,  pre-
amplifier,  receiver  or  surround  processor  to  a  sub-woofer.    The  hook-up  method  is  exactly  the  same  as  that  for 
balanced inter-connects.  

 
 
 

 

 
 
 

Connect one end of each cable to your processor, receiver or amplifier and the other to the TLE1 
 
Note: Both types of connection cannot be used concurrently. 
 
Tip:  An inexpensive length of RCA cable can be used when experimenting with sub-woofer placement and then 
replaced  with  balanced  inter-connects  –  if  supported  by  your  hardware  –  once  the  final  position  has  been 
determined. 

 

Do I use both left and right inputs? 

 

If your processor only provides one sub-woofer output – sometimes labelled “LFE” or “SUB” – then a single balanced 
or unbalanced cable can be used, connected to either the left or right input of the TLE1, it doesn’t matter which.  If 
a single unbalanced input is used, then it is recommended that the supplied RCA shorting plug is inserted into the 
unused RCA socket. Stereo sub-woofer or stereo pre-amplifier outputs are also supported; requiring the use of two 
lengths  of  cable  (one  for  left,  one  for  right),  so  that  the  sub-woofer  reproduces  the  bass  information  from  both 
channels. 
 
If  you  are  using  the  sub-woofer  in  a  two-channel  system,  it  can  be  connected  to  any  available  pre-amplifier 
output/s, provided the output is not of the fixed gain type (a tape record loop, for example).
