NOTE: DO NOT PLUG THE POWER CORD INTO A POWER CONDITIONER
OR UPS SYSTEM.
Audio Connections
Your Sonance Cabinet Subwoofer has flexible connections that let
you use it in a wide variety of audio system configurations
(see Figure 2).
Line Level
You can connect the subwoofer’s line level input to a surround
processor or receiver’s line-level dedicated subwoofer LFE output
or a stereo preamp/integrated amplifier’s left and right variable main
outputs.
Connect the processor’s dedicated subwoofer output to the left
line level input jack labeled LEFT/LFE. If you are installing two
subwoofers in the system, use a ‘Y’ connector to connect both
subwoofers to the processor’s subwoofer output.
Option 2
Stereo preamp/power amp combination or an integrated
amplifier with preamp out jacks (see Figure 4).
Connection Examples
Follow the connection example that best describes your audio
system. The examples are listed in descending order of preference,
with the most ideal method presented first.
Option 1
Surround sound processor, surround sound receiver, or stereo
preamp with a dedicated subwoofer output (see Figure 3).

PROPERLY SELECTED.
Subwoofer Adjustments
Volume Adjustments
The VOLUME control sets the subwoofer’s volume output. When
setting the subwoofer’s volume control by ear, try to find a volume
setting where the bass sounds balanced on both music and films.
Listen to several different music recordings and film soundtracks
that contain strong bass passages and try to find a setting for the
volume control that doesn’t over-emphasize the bass or make it
sound weak (see Figure 6).
The most accurate way to set the volume control is with calibrated
test noise or test tones and a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter
or real time analyzer. There are several CDs and DVDs that
contain subwoofer test signals. If you use an SPL meter, set the
subwoofer’s volume control so that it plays at the same volume as
the system’s other speakers.
