OPTION #3
This method is for use with electronics featur-
ing a “PRE OUT” – and may be used as a sec-
ondary hook up method for use with RM6200
or RM6600 Systems. Connect the left and right
preamp output from your electronics to the left
and right LINE LEVEL input of the subwoofer.
This may require use of RCA “Y” cables (not
supplied) to hookup both the subwoofer and
your electronics (PSW250, PSW350, PSW450).
When using option #3, it is necessary to adjust
the settings on your electronics as follows:
Front speakers = LARGE Subwoofer = “OFF”
or “NO”.
HOOK-UP OPTIONS
OPTION #2
This method can be used with electronics
that include a “SUB OUT” feature (Figure 4,
previous page). It is not recommended for
use with RM6200 or RM6600 Systems.
Connect a single RCA cable from the “SUB
OUT” of your electronics to the LFE input of
the subwoofer. This input bypasses the sub-
woofer’s variable low pass filter and relies on
the filter built into your electronics. If your
“SUB OUT” is an unfiltered signal (check your
owner’s manual), use either left or right “Line
Level Input,” to use the low pass crossover in
the subwoofer.
When using option #2, it is necessary to
adjust the settings of your electronics as
follows: Front speakers = large or small
depending on their output capabilities;
Subwoofer = “ON”.
