integrated amplifier with PRE OUT and AMP IN jacks:
Connect the preamp outputs to the LOW LEVEL INPUTs on
The Sub using interconnect cables (Figure 4). Return the
signal to the power amplifier inputs with a second pair of
cables.When installing a pair of The Subs, connect the right
and left channel outputs to the LEFT LOW LEVEL INPUTs
of both subwoofers, and return the signal to the power ampli-
fier from the LEFT LOW LEVEL OUT jacks. Set mode switch
in variable position. Set frequency control midpoint for
starters.
C.
Preamplifier and power amplifier, or an integrated amplifier
with low level outputs but no AMP IN jacks: : Using two Y
connectors and interconnect cables, connect both
preamp outputs to the LOW LEVEL INPUTs on The Sub.
When installing a pair of The Subs, connect the right and
left channel outputs to the LEFT LOW LEVEL INPUTs of
both subwoofers. Set mode switch in variable position. Set
frequency control midpoint for starters.
D.
Receiver or integrated amplifier with no line level outputs:
Connect the left and right speaker outputs to The Sub
speaker level inputs using speaker wire. Use additional
lengths of speaker wire to connect the speaker level outputs
to the main speakers. When two Subs are employed in such
a system, run the left and right speaker connections to and
from the LEFT speaker level inputs. Set mode switch in
variable position. Set frequency control midpoint for
starters.
E.
Receiver or integrated amplifier with no line level outputs:
Connect the left and right speaker outputs to The Sub
speaker level inputs and the main speakers in parallel, using
speaker wire. Attach two lengths of speaker wire to the
amplifier outputs: one to The Sub and one to the main speakers.
F.
Receiver or integrated amplifier with no line level outputs
and with two sets of speaker outputs: Connect the left and
right speaker “B” outputs to The Sub speaker level inputs,
using speaker wire. While the impedance characteristics of
The Sub inputs are specifically designed to present an
“amplifier friendly” load, consult your amplifier manual
before adding The Sub to a system with very low impedance
speakers,
as amplifier damage may result.
Note: This only applies if A and B speaker outputs are parallel.
NOTES: Polarity of speaker wires is critical. All positive leads
(+) must be attached to red connectors throughout the system.
Positive leads many be identified by the color of the conductor,
a ridge on the insulation, writing on the insulation, or some
other means.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet of the voltage indicated
on the amplifier. Do not use a switched outlet on another
component. The Sub amplifier features Auto-On circuitry.After
four minutes of no input signal, the amplifier turns
itself off. It automatically powers on when an input signal
is detected.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
1. Follow all warnings and instructions in this manual and marked on the product.
2. Any service or repair required must be performed by qualified factory
authorized personnel.
3. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners on the speaker or amplifier.
4. To clean your speaker, wipe the grille with a soft cloth dampened with water.
The baffle, driver, and amplifier may be dusted by gentle use of “canned
air”commonly used to clean cameras and computer equipment.
5. Do not use this product in a high humidity environment or near water, for
example a wet basement, wet bar, or swimming pool.
6. Do not expose The Sub to direct sunlight or high heat. Extended periods
of exposure may cause deterioration of adhesives and driver materials,
compromising the useful life of the speaker.
7. Sine wave test tones can damage The Sub and should only be used at low
volume levels for short periods.
8. Never touch the driver (woofer) or push objects of any kind into this product
through the grille.
9. Do not expose The Sub to construction dust, dirt, or airborne paint particles.
