Input terminal Right and Left / Input terminal Mono

This subwoofer provides 3 low level inputs: Left, Right, and Mono. These inputs can be used
in any combination. Signals from all 3 inputs are summed and fed to the subwoofer.

Do 

not

 connect any of these inputs to high level signals such as power amplifier speaker

outputs!

If a 

SUB OUT

 terminal (or equivalent) is not present on the pre-amp/processor, then connect

the subwoofer via 

PRE OUT 

to <IN R> and <IN L>.

Output switch / Output terminal Right and Left

The output terminals are intended for use when  a  separate  power  amplifier  or  integrated
amplifier with separate inputs is available.

Using this output enables the removal of frequencies below 80 Hz from the main speakers by
setting the switch to < Lowcut 80 Hz>.

With the output switch in the <Flat> position, the input terminals are connected directly to
the output terminals. With the output switch in the <Lowcut 80 Hz> position, the signal
passes through an active second order (12 dB/octave, f

-3dB

 = 80 Hz) high-pass filter. This

selection cuts frequencies below 80 Hz to the main speakers,  thereby  reducing    potential
distortion.
