You can even use BOTH single-ended RCA and balanced XLR LFE
outputs to daisy-chain even more subwoofers when either the single-
ended input or the balanced input is used.
In the case of bass and LFE, using more low frequency sources
(not higher level) is better than using less. The point is not to
achieve a higher level of bass response but rather, by using multiple
subwoofers to distribute the LFE signal around the room, dramatically
reducing and evening-out room modes and increasing the bass
capability of the system.
Distributing low frequency information is also helpful for reproduction of
Multi-channel Music because you get incredible articulation and detail
in the bass all around the room.
Power
Make sure the ServoSub 4/8 is plugged into a wall outlet that is always
on. The S4/8 has an auto-on feature and will automatically power up
from “stand-by” when it detects a signal, and will switch itself to power
saving after about 10 minutes of being idle.
We recommend against the use of an
extension cord for providing AC power.
If you are forced to use an extension
cord, make certain that it is as heavy
duty (a minimum wire thickness of 12
gauge) an extension cord as you can
find. The S4/8 running at full tilt can
draw up to 1200Watts from your power
supply, so make sure that whatever
you plug your subwoofer into can
handle it!

Level Inputs
Using a good quality speaker cable,
connect the output of your power
amplifier to the binding posts on the
back of the S4/8. You may also
connect the S4/8 to the binding posts
on the back of your loudspeaker
terminals if this is more convenient.
Make sure that you maintain proper
polarity. This means that the plus (+)
