Multiple subwoofers

When connecting multiple subwoofers using RCA signal connections, you will need to use “Y” cables (signal 
splitters) to route your receiver/processor output to each woofer if it does not have multiple “SUBWOOFER” 
output jacks. Another option is to use an XLR to RCA adapter to convert your receiver/processor RCA signal 
ouptut to an XLR connection, which allows you to use the XLR “DIRECT PASS-THRU”.

When connecting multiple subwoofers using XLR signal connections, you may wish to use the XLR “DIRECT 
PASS-THRU” output connection to simplify your installation. This will allow you to run 1  long XLR cable from 
your processor’s “SUBWOOFER” output jack to the 1st subwoofer’s XLR input, and an additional shorter XLR 
cable connects the 1st subwoofer’s XLR “DIRECT PASS-THRU” output to the input of the 2nd subwoofer in the 
signal chain. If installing a multi subwoofer system containing three or four subwoofers, additional short 
XLR cables can be used to connect the “XLR DIRECT PASS-THRU” output of the 2nd subwoofer to XLR input of 
the 3rd subwoofer, and another short XLR cable  to connect the “XLR DIRECT PASS-THRU” output of the 3rd 
subwoofer to XLR input of the 4th subwoofer. If your processor does not provide an XLR output, you may 
use an RCA to XLR adapter cable to connect your receiver to the 1st subwoofer in a multi subwoofer system, 
and use regular XLR cables to make the connections between additional subwoofers, as noted above.
