•
Run the Auto-EQ setup feature on your A/V receiver. It is important to rerun
your receiver’s calibration procedure if you are upgrading from another
subwoofer.
•
If your setup doesn’t involve Auto-EQ features, adjust the subwoofer volume
control to level-match to your loudspeakers.
•
Access the A/V receiver speaker speaker setup menu, and confirm the
appropriate speaker/subwoofer crossover settings for each speaker channel.
•
For additional guidance on recommended crossover settings, visit our
Merlin
matching tool at
www.svsound.com/merlin

downloadable from

For most users, the TYPICAL A/V RECEIVER
setup is all that will be required to connect
your subwoofer.
•
If you run separate Preamplifier and Power
Amplifiers, follow the PRE/PRO - LINE LEVEL
connection guide.

Alternate connection options are available
in the Owner’s Manual, downloadable from
