Positioning your Subwoofer
There should be a mains outlet within easy reach.
Although the unit may be placed almost anywhere in the room, even behind
the sofa or the TV set, we recommend that it be placed in front of the listener
and as central to the listening position as possible. The subwoofer should not
be operated within 450mm of a television set as the drive unit magnet may
distort the picture.

and as central to the listening position as possible. The subwoofer should not
be operated within 450mm of a television set as the drive unit magnet may
distort the picture.
We suggest you position the subwoofer about 20cm (8 inches) from the wall.
A position close to the wall will enhance the bass; placing it across a room
corner will increase the bass further, possibly at the expense of clarity.
Experiment with a variety of locations and sources before making a final
decision.

The drive unit and bass ports move a lot of air at high volume, so make sure
you do not place your subwoofer near surfaces or objects that may rattle.

Speaker Level Connections
Your subwoofer has been designed for optimum performance
with a Digital processor. If your AV processor has a line level or
LFE subwoofer output you should use this connection. You will
need to purchase a single screened RCA phono lead from your
dealer. Connect this lead to the Left line input of the Subwoofer
as shown opposite.

need to purchase a single screened RCA phono lead from your
dealer. Connect this lead to the Left line input of the Subwoofer
as shown opposite.
Alternatively, you may use a split mono lead from the processor
to both inputs of the subwoofer. In this case the input level at the
subwoofer will be slightly higher.

If your amplifier has a spare preamplifier output or a stereo sub-
woofer output, connect the sub-woofer as shown. You will need
a stereo screened RCA phono cable.

If you use a stereo pre and power amplifier, or a stereo amplifier
where the pre and main amplifier can be separated, connect
the sub-woofer as shown. You will need two screened RCA ‘Y’
adaptors and two single RCA phono cables.

Remove the Pre-Main links on your amplifier. Connect the RCA
‘Y’ adaptors and cables as shown. Connect one leg of the ‘Y’
adaptor to the Left Channel Pre Out socket on the amplifier and
the other leg to the Left Channel Main In socket. Connect the
remaining plug on this combination to the Left Channel Line
Level Input on the sub-woofer. Repeat this for the Right Channel.

The high level Speaker connections should be used only if your
amplifier does not have a line level subwoofer output. In this
connection the subwoofer is fed together with the Front
loudspeakers. For this you will need two extra twin core cables.
