If your receiver/amplifier has preamp output jacks and main input jacks for the left and
right channels or you have a separate preamp/processor and power amplifier:
This method of hookup can offer the highest level of performance for your complete loudspeaker
system. Your subwoofer incorporates an adjustable high-pass crossover
in addition
to a variable
low-pass crossover. When hooked up as shown below, the subwoofer will limit the low-frequency
information that is returned to your receiver/amplifier. Your receiver/amplifier does not need to
waste valuable power reproducing the low frequencies. In addition, since no low-frequency
information is being sent to your main loudspeakers, they are able to reproduce mid and high
frequencies with greater clarity.
