Volume Level Adjustment:

Increase or decrease

the output level relative to the incoming signal.

Crossover:

Provides active filtering of the incoming

signal to allow only lower frequencies to be ampli-
fied. Adjustment range from 60Hz to 160Hz.

Power Auto, On and Off:

Auto setting - amplifier

turns on when audio is detected. On - amplifier is
always on. Off - amplifier is off.

Phase Selection:

The speaker Phase can be

inverted 180 degrees. Used with more than one
subwoofer or for abnormal room acoustics. 

Low-Level Line Input:

Left and Right channel RCA

connections for low-level audio signal feed.

Speaker Level Input:

(with passthrough) Spring-

loaded terminals for up to 12 gauge speaker wire.
Allows input connections to be sourced from an
amplified speaker signal such as the Left and Right
output from an amplifier/receiver. This amplified sig-
nal is tapped off for feeding the subwoofer but the
signal is unaltered and is passed directly on to
adjoining output terminals 

Speaker Level Output:

Spring-loaded terminals

accept speaker wire up to 12 gauge in size. Output
terminals feed audio to the speakers which would
otherwise be directly connected to the
amplifier/receiver’s main Left and Right outputs
(those connected to the speaker level inputs). 

Power:

Molded power cord for 120V 60Hz 1.0A

power supply.
