B1 Subwoofer

Owner’s Manual

NOTE: Setting the level of the subwoofer in relation to the left 

and right front speakers is of critical importance because it is 

essential that the subwoofer integrate smoothly with the entire 

system. Setting the level too high results in an overpowering bass 

response. Setting the level too low negates the benefits of the B1 

subwoofer.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Never make or break connections unless all 

system components are powered off.

Figure 8: Rear-panel input connectors

This section provides typical examples of cable connections with 

different system configurations and devices. Review the owner’s 

manuals for associated audio components to determine their connection 

requirements.
The B1 subwoofer input connectors are located on the rear panel. Two 

gold-plated RCA connector options are available – Sub In Low-Pass 

Disabled (Normal) and L/R Low-Pass Enabled – as shown in Figure 8.
In most cases, you’ll use the Sub In connector, as it’s designed for 

multichannel use. This input bypasses the low-pass filter, and is the 

appropriate input for most installations. This connector should be used 

when there is a dedicated subwoofer output available on the audio 

processor or receiver.

Some processors incorrectly label the subwoofer output as LFE; others 

offer both an LFE and a Subwoofer output. If there is no labeled 

subwoofer output, use the LFE output. If the output has labeled 

connections for both LFE and Subwoofer, use the Subwoofer output.
The L (Left) and R (Right) connectors on the rear panel of the B1 are for 

use with 2-channel applications, where there is no dedicated subwoofer 

output available. These inputs are automatically crossed-over by the 

adjustable Low-Pass Crossover control on the rear panel. Having 

the low-pass filter enabled helps offset the fact that most 2-channel 

systems do not perform any high-pass filtering on the main speakers, 

minimizing the advantages of using a subwoofer. These connectors 

should be used in 2-channel applications where the receiver or 

preamplifier lacks a dedicated subwoofer or LFE output.

NOTE: The Concerta B1 subwoofer has a third connection option 

– wireless connection is also available when coupled with the 

optional TX1 transmitter. Refer to the “Wireless Connection” 

section found later in this manual for additional details regarding 

this option.

Figure 9: Typical connection

This configuration is for use with multichannel processors or receivers 

that have a single dedicated Subwoofer or LFE output connector.
Connect an RCA patch cable from the Subwoofer or LFE output on the 

processor/receiver to the Sub In connector on the B1 rear panel, as 

shown in Figure 9.
