Dedicated Subwoofer Connections

Many surround sound decoders, home theater processors and
audio/video receivers are equipped with a dedicated subwoofer
line output. In this case, the signal is already processed and
does not need to return to the system or other speakers.
Connect this line output to the 

line inputs

of the SW Twelve. 

A

Y

connector should be used to feed this single output to

both the left and the right line inputs.

Television Enhancement

Many newer television sets are equipped with 

variable 

stereo

outputs. The signal available at these outputs varies with the
television volume. In this situation, these variable audio o u t-
puts can be connected directly to the SW Twelve 

line inputs

t o

enhance the bass response of the television's built-in speakers. 

Line Level Connections

In this example, the pre-amp outputs of a stereo receiver are
connected to the SW Twelve 

line inputs

. The 

line outputs

o n

the SW Twelve re t u rn the line level signal to the power amp
inputs on the stereo re c e i v e r, which in turn powers the left and
right speakers.

Hi Level Connections

H e re the signal is already amplified as it leaves the re c e i v e r /
a m p l i f i e r. The speaker terminals of this unit are connected to
the 

hi level inputs

of the SW Twelve. The left and right speakers

receive the original amplified signal from the SW Twelve 

h i
