Your subwoofer has been designed for optimum 
performance  with  a  digital  processor.  If  your  A/V 
processor has a line level or LFE subwoofer output 
you should use this connection. You will need to 
purchasa single screened RCA phono lead from your 
dealer. Connect this lead to the LFE input of the 
subwoofer as shown.

Alternatively, you may use a split mono lead from the 
processor to Line Inputs of the subwoofer. In this case 
the input level at the subwoofer will be slightly higher.

If  you  use  a  stereo  pre  and  power  amplifier,  or  an 
amplifier  where  the  pre  and  main  amplifier  cab  be 
separated, connect the subwoofer as shown. There 
are two alternative methods.

You will need two screened RCA ‘Y’ adaptors and two 
single RCA phono cables.

Remove the Pre-Main links on your amplifier. Connect 
the  socket (common) of an RCA ‘Y’ adaptor to the left 
Channel Pre Out socket on the amplifier and the other 
leg to the Left Channel Main In socket. Connect the 
remaining plug on this combination to the Left 
Channel Line Level input on the subwoofer. Repeat 
this for the Right Channel.

If your amplifier has a spare preamplifer output or a 
stereo subwoofer output, connect the subwoofer as 
shown. You will need a stereo screened RCA phono 
cable.

Check that all connections to the subwoofer have been properly made and that the main volume control is at 
minimum. Plug the supplied power cord into the mains socket on the rear panel.

Plug in the mains plug and switch the power on. Now switch the subwoofer on with the rest of your system. 
When switched on, the power indicator light will glow and the subwoofer will be operational.
