Please consider the following when set-

ting up your new system :

•      Before making or changing any 

connec tions, ALWAYS make sure 
that the subwoofer and your other 
components are turned OFF. Also 
turn down the volume control of the 
sub woof er and your pream pli 

fi

  er or 

receiver.

•      This diagram shows all the low 

power com po nents sharing a power 
strip which is con nect ed to the same 
out let used by the ampli

fi

 er.

•      The sub woof er is con nect ed to an 

out let on the same cir cuit break er, 
pro vid ed that the total sys tem 
cur rent draw does not exceed the 
breaker current rating.

•      This arrangement will reduce the 

pos si bil i ty of an audible hum in your 
system caused by a ground loop.

•      Whenever possible, keep the 

power cords away from the signal 
cables or speaker wires to pre vent 
any hum or in ter fer ence being 
heard in the speak ers.

•      Choose reliable, high quality in ter -

con nect cables, also called patch 
cords or RCA cables. They should 
be fully shield ed and as short as 
pos si ble for the job. The longest 
cable in your system will likely be to 
the sub woof er, so choose a good 
quality brand.

•      Some patch cords can be a very 

tight 

fi

 t and there is usually a 

preferred method of getting them 
off. Some have to be re moved with 
a twisting action. Be gentle or you 
may dam age the jacks of the sub-
 woof er or your other com po nents.

Speaker Level connections

•      The subwoofer’s speaker level  

inputs can accept speaker wires 
with banana, dual-banana, bare 
wire or spade terminals. If you have 
banana type con nec tors on your 
speaker wire, make sure that you 
tighten the binding posts before 
inserting.

•      Make sure that the negative 

speaker wires never touch the posi-
tive wires as this will short out and 
possibly damage your ampli

fi

 er or 

receiver.

      The subwoofer’s two negative 

posts are joined in ter nal ly (com-
 mon-ground ed). Your am pli 

fi

  er 

must also be internally common-
grounded or you cannot use this 
connection. Contact the man u fac -
tur er of your ampli

fi

 er to make sure 

its outputs are common grounded.
