Connecting the 

AS2

 subwoofer

Thanks  to  its  active  crossover  network  and  numerous  connection  options,  the 

AS2

 provides further advantages such as stepless variable phase. The 

AS2

 is con-

nected to a line signal either via 'Left/Right Input', 'Mono Input' or 'LFE Input'. It 
is important that the level of the connected line signal is controlled together with 
the equipment’s volume control.

Connection to stereo signal with full frequency content

If the subwoofer is connected to a pre-amplifi er without a built-in crossover net-
work of the same high quality as the 

AS2

, we recommend that the subwoofer’s 

'Left/Right Inputs' are connected to a signal with full frequency content from a 
normal  pre-amplifi er  output.  The  subwoofer’s  built-in  crossover  network  takes 
care of the necessary fi ltering.

Once  the  subwoofer’s  'Left/Right  Inputs' 
are  connected  to  a  stereo  signal  with  full 
frequency content, there is access to a high-
pass fi ltered signal (without the deep tones) 
on  the  'Left/Right  Output'  sockets.  This 
signal  is  connected  to  the  power  amplifi er 
for the main speakers, which thus does not 
need to handle the demanding deep tones. 
This will always result in the main speakers 
playing more cleanly and un-stressed.
