Connecting Your Subwoofer
-6-
Low level -RCA- audio input connection:
This is the best way to drive an audio signal into the Kompressor
subwoofer. Today, all signal processors(5.1/6.1 and more advanced ones)
come equipped with built-in pre-amplifier outputs (RCA) that include a
subwoofer output.
Generally, the SUB/OUT is in mono format. As shown in the
photos across, connect the SUB/OUT from the processor to the
Kompressor using a "Y" connector to feed both RCA inputs of the
subwoofer.
We strongly recommend that you use the best available RCA
connectors and cables. High quality cables are normally triple shielded,
and the connectors are gold plated with forceful grasping (refer to
Earthquake line of accessories- SI superior Interconnect - at
www.earthquakesound.com).
High level audio input connection:
This is the least desired way to drive an
audio signal into the subwoofer. Older stereo systems
are not equipped with pre-amplifier audio outputs,
normally they come with stereo speaker outputs (left
& right).
Using "banana" plugs, connect the speaker
outputs to the corresponding Subwoofer high level
inputs (marked "FROM RECEIVER). In this
configuration, the front stereo speakers (towers) can
be powered up by connecting them to the subwoofer
speaker outputs (marked "TO SPEAKERS"). The
amount of power (watts) driven into the stereo
speakers (towers) is identical to the amount of power
(watts) fed into the SuperNova from the stereo system
(ratio 1:1).

AC power connection:
The SuperNova subwoofer is available in two models:
110V and 220V/24. The power socket if fused to protect the
amplifier from surges. Do not overfuse, replace the fuse with
identical value.
