the device’s electronics to malfunction. Please wait for 3 seconds or
more after turning the power OFF before turning it ON again.

INPUT L/R connector
These connectors receive the input signal to the
subwoofer. Balanced XLR and balanced phone jack
connectors are provided for both the L and R inputs.
The L and R inputs can be used simultaneously.
Signals supplied to both the L and R inputs are mixed
internally.
NOTE
The XLR and phone jack input connectors can not be
used simultaneously. Use only one input connector at a
time.
NOTE
Refer to “Connectable cables” on page 5 for more
connector details.
2
OUTPUT L/R connectors
These are the subwoofer’s output connectors.
The input signals received at the INPUT L and R
connectors are output via the OUTPUT L and R
connectors, respectively. Low frequency reproduction
characteristics can be adjusted via the LOW CUT
switch and LOW CUT control.
3
LOW CUT switch
When this switch is ON, the low frequencies are
attenuated prior to output via the OUTPUT L and R
connectors at the frequency set by the LOW CUT
control. The low-frequency attenuation cutoff
frequency can be adjusted via the LOW CUT control.
4
LOW CUT control
Adjusts the low-frequency attenuation cutoff
frequency between 80 Hz and 120 Hz when the LOW
CUT switch is ON.
5
HIGH CUT control
Sets the cutoff frequency for subwoofer output high-
frequency attenuation from 80 Hz to 120 Hz.
6
PHASE switch
Switches the phase of the subwoofer output.
This switch should be set to [NORM.] in most
situations, but in combination with some speakers
and in some speaker layouts switching to the [REV.]
setting may improve low-frequency response. Select
the setting that provides the best bass response in
your system.
7
LEVEL control
Adjusts the subwoofer output level.
