UNPACKING/PRE-ISTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack your new subwoofer carefully, keeping the carton and packing material

for future use. Check the condition of your unit, reporting any damage which may

have occurred in transit to your dealer or shipping company.

GLOSSARY

The following list of terms with their definitions is offered as a help in

understanding the set-up and operation of your subwoofer.

Crossover (xover) - an electrical filter with lo-pass or hi-pass characteristics

that divides the frequency range into bands of low, middle, or high frequencies to

match the capabilities of specialized loudspeakers like subwoofers that are only

effective at reproducing limited frequency ranges. The crossover frequency is the

frequency where the filter begins to attenuate or reduce the level of the signal.

Full range - refers to signals which cover the entire audio frequency span from 20

Hz to 20 kHz.

Hi-pass - a type of filter circuit that allows high frequencies to pass, while

reducing the level of low frequencies with the transition from high to low occurring

at the crossover frequency. The rate of reduction of the signal is called the

attenuation rate or slope and is measured in decibels (dB) over a change in

frequency of one octave which is a doubling or halving of frequency.

Impedance - the resistance to the flow of current in an alternating current circuit

(such as with music). Line level circuits are typically a high impedance of several

thousand ohms, while speaker level circuits are usually a low impedance of a few

ohms.

Line level - the type of signal produced at the outputs of preamplifiers, tape

decks, CD players, etc., with a typical value of a volt or less in a high impedance

circuit. Sometimes called low level signals, they are routed using shielded cables

which are usually terminated with RCA phono connectors.

Lo-pass - a type of filter circuit that allows low frequencies to pass, while reducing

the level of high frequencies with the transition from low to high occurring at the

crossover frequency. The rate of reduction is called the attenuation rate or slope

and is measured in decibels (dB) over a change in frequency of one octave which

is a doubling or halving of frequency.

Speaker level - the type of signal produced at the outputs of power amplifiers

that may be many volts in a low impedance circuit. Sometimes called high level

signals, they are routed using two conductor unshielded wire of 18 gauge or

larger. Connections are usually made with stripped ends of wire gripped in spring

loaded terminals.

B) For use with A/V preamps and receivers that have 5.1 channel line level

outputs.

If your preamplifier or receiver has a single “subwoofer” output or “LFE” output,

connect a shielded cable from the preamplifier output to either one of the

subwoofer line level inputs. Refer to Figure E.
