The following describes the control functions of the rear panel of the amplifier 

(refer to figure 2).

8. 

Line/LFE  Input:

  These  RCA  type  terminals  are  for  the  pre-amp 

level  input  signals  coming  from  a  processor  or  preamplifier  labeled 

“subwoofer” or “LFE.” 

 

IMPORTANT! Use either the Line Level inputs or the “Speaker Level” 
inputs  separately.  DO  NOT  use  both,  as  damage  to  the  receiver 

and/or the Subwoofer Amplifier may result.

 

WARNING! DO NOT connect an amplified or speaker-level signal 

into the line/LFE input(s).

9. 

Line/LFE Output:

 These RCA type terminals carry the same audio signal 

as the line inputs. These terminals are used if an output signal is needed 

elsewhere in your system. These outputs are full-range outputs. 

10.  Speaker Level Output:

 This 100Hz high-pass speaker output is for your 

satellite/main speakers. The built-in crossover limits the frequencies below 

100Hz from being sent to your satellite/main speakers. You may use these 

speaker outputs only when using the “Speaker Level” input terminals (#11). 

Connect your satellite/main speakers (observing the proper polarity) to 

the binding posts labeled “Speaker Level Out.” 

 

NOTE: 

These connectors are not powered by the Subwoofer Amplifier. 

11.  Speaker Level Input:

 These connectors are for the amplifier or speaker-

level audio output from an amplifier or receiver.

 

IMPORTANT! Use either the Line inputs or the “Speaker Level” inputs 
separately. DO NOT use both, as damage to the receiver and/or the 

Subwoofer Amplifier may result.

12.  Subwoofer Output:

 This is the amplified audio output of the Subwoofer 

Amplifier. If the Crossover Button (#5) is in the “on” position, the audio output 

will be limited to the lower frequencies selected by the Frequency Control 

(#6). If the Crossover Button (#5) is in the “off” position, the audio output 

will be full-range. An impedance load of 4-16 ohms may be connected to 

this output. Please follow the instructions in the connections section of this 

owner’s manual for proper wiring information.

13  Dimmer

: This knob adjusts the brightness of the indicator lights on the 

front panel.
