1. 6 IS Installation Inputs Your new subwoofer is equipped with speaker level and line level inputs Use the LINE LEVEL jacks when connecting your subwoofer to a pre amp signal processor line level crossover or receiver with pre amp level outputs The SPEAKER LEVEL jacks connect directly to the speaker outputs of any amplifier integrated amplifier or receiver Your amplifier section will notice no additional loading effects when you use these inputs due to their very high impedance Important Do not use both LINE LEVEL and SPEAKER LEVEL connections simultaneously Volume control This control allows you to balance the output from the subwoofer to the main speakers amplifier in your system This control should be set to achieve similar output level from both the main speakers and subwoofer when listening to music A good starting point for the volume control is 3 or 4 dots from minimum Low pass crossover 40 to 120Hz Allinputs sum the left and right channels together with the resulting signal passing through an adjustable low pass crossover before being amplified The crossover control allows you to adjust the upper limit of the subwoofer s frequency response from 40 to 120Hz The subwoofer s response will begin rolling off above the frequency you set this control to You should set the crossover frequency to obtain a smooth and seamless transition from the subwoofer to the main speakers in your system If your main speaker2.
