Level
Since your subwoofer is designed to work in conjunction with other
speakers, a level control is provided that will allow you to balance the
output of the subwoofer with the rest of your speakers. Once set, the level
control should not require further adjustment. Begin with the level control
at minimum position. Slowly increase the level clockwise until the
subwoofer's output is equal to that of your other speakers.

Crossover Frequency
The crossover frequency control is used to adjust the point at which the
subwoofer stops reproducing the frequencies played by the other speakers
in your system. Most home speakers will reproduce some bass signal, but
depending on their specific type and size, the subwoofer enhances the
lower frequency response of your system. The control is adjustable from
50Hz (very low cutoff ) to 180Hz (high cutoff ). Frequencies higher than the
cut-off frequency will not be reproduced by the subwoofer. Raising the
crossover setting increases the mid-bass frequencies that the subwoofer
will reproduce. Lowering the crossover will do the opposite. We recom-
mend starting at the 10 o'clock position and adjusting based on your
speakers. Larger speakers will reproduce more of the lower frequencies,
and you may set the crossover to below 100Hz. Smaller home speakers
won't produce as much of the lower frequencies and the crossover may be
set above the 100Hz setting. The higher the crossover frequency the more
midrange bass will be reproduced. Only the lowest bass tones will be
reproduced as the crossover frequency is reduced. If the receiver or source
component is a Dolby Digital

component is a Dolby Digital
TM
unit, the ideal crossover setting may be
around 100Hz. If the audio source is a THX
TM
rated device an optimal
crossover setting may be around 80Hz.
Note: Bass is relative to the overall output of a speaker system and is
subjective to the listener's ear. Set the crossover frequencies to a level that
sounds pleasing to your ear and the overall reproduction of your audio.

By-Pass Switch
The by-pass switch is set depending on which type of input source will be
used. When using the High Level Input the by-pass switch should be set to
the "OFF" position. This will allow use of the crossover control to determine
the frequency of the subwoofer output. When the Line Level Input (also
described as RCA in) is being used, the type of input source must be
determined prior to setting the by-pass switch. The by-pass switch should
be set to the "ON" position only if a dedicated subwoofer output or LFE
output is used. The "ON" position of the by-pass switch will disable the
internal crossover. If a non-LFE or non-dedicated subwoofer output is used
for the Line Level Input, the bypass switch should be set to the "OFF"
position to allow proper use of the crossover control.

General Information
Signals input to your subwoofer will first pass through the crossover. The
portion of the signal below the current crossover frequency setting will be
reproduced by the subwoofer. The unprocessed signal will also be passed
to the High Level outputs.

High Level Input
These inputs are designed to accept a full band amplified signal from the
speaker outputs of a receiver, power amp, or other device not equipped
with line level outputs. Connect the speaker wires from the output of the
amplified audio source via standard speaker wire to the inputs of the
High Level Input.

High Level Output
The original amplified signal from your audio source is present at these
outputs when using the High Level Input as the audio source. Connect
speaker wires from the High Level Output (never more than one wire per
terminal connection) to a pair of audio speakers.

Low Level Input
These RCA jacks are designed to accept a dedicated subwoofer output, a
LFE line level signal, or a standard line level signal from a receiver, pre-amp,
surround sound decoder or similar device. When using a single line level
output from an audio source, connection to either the Left or Right input is
sufficient. If your audio component has line level stereo outputs then
connect both RCA line level outputs to the Left and Right Low level Input.
