removes high
frequencies; use with sources lacking suitable
filtering (most products without Dolby Digital
or DTS), or where manual control is desired.

Connecting the Subwoofer to Stereo or Dolby
®
Pro Logic
®
Systems
For stereo or Dolby Pro Logic systems, the easiest method is to use the same speaker wire connections as shown on page 5.
You may also use the “sub out” connection from your receiver to the input on the subwoofer marked
“use crossover con-
trol.”
When using speaker wire or the
“use crossover control”
input, the subwoofer’s built-in crossover is engaged. As a
starting point, set the crossover control on the subwoofer about 10Hz higher than the lower limit of your main speakers’
bass response (for Boston Acoustics front speakers, refer to the included “Optimal Crossover Settings…”sheet).
Fine-tune the crossover setting by ear for the smoothest blend with your main speakers. The best setting of the crossover
control will depend on speaker placement and personal preference.

Adjusts the sound level of
the subwoofer. A typical set-
ting is around 11 o’clock, as
shown.

Polarity (0° or 180°)
Completely turns all
power to the amplifier
either

and over-
rides the
power mode
switch. This switch must
be turned
on
before
setting the
power mode
switch (see next page).
Adjusts the frequency of
the lowpass filter for the
subwoofer. This control is
inactive when using the
“bypass crossover control”
input jack.
Selects regular (0°) or inverted
(180°) polarity for the sub-
woofer. Set this switch to pro-
vide the fullest, most dynamic
bass. The effect of phase will
be most audible on low-fre-
quency percussion instruments
or music with a continuously
repeating bass line.
