5. High Pass Outputs
Typically,full-rangeloudspeakersareconnected
tothehighpassoutputsto“split”theworkwiththe
Thump18Ssubwoofer.Thesubwooferhandlesallofthe

Asaresult,itismoreefcientandabitlouder.
BalancedXLRmaleconnectorsareprovidedforthe
line-levelAandBhighpassoutputs.Thesubwoofer’s
