The following pages show some typical 

con nec tions that you might make in your 
in stal la tion. They show how the inputs 
and outputs of the SunÞ re Subwoofer 
are con nected to your pream pli Þ  er or 
receiver.

If your preampliÞ er has a 

subwoofer output (often labeled LFE 
for Low Fre quen cy Ef fects), it can be 
con nect ed to the sub woof er’s Left 
(Mono) input as shown. This is the 
simplest and rec om mend ed con-
nection. A receiver with a sub/LFE 
output can be con nect ed in the 
same way.

The sub woof er will play the low 

frequency range and the other 
speakers will play the frequency 
range delivered to them by your 
ampliÞ er.

If you have a Home 

Theater pream pli Þ  er, 
it may have an in de -
pen dent subwoofer vol-
ume control. Make sure 
this is correctly ad just ed, 
and that the SunÞ re 
Subwoofer’s cross over 
frequency is set to 100 
Hz. This is by no means 
an iron-clad rule, rather it 
is a good starting point. 
(See the cross over fre-
quency control details on 
page 6 and ad just ments 
on page 18).

You can set the sub woof er’s Vol-

ume control to 0 dB, and then use the 
preampliÞ er’s sub woof er level control for 
normal and routine ad just ments.
