User's Manual
Please consider the following when set-
ting up your new system :
• Before making or changing any
connections, ALWAYS make sure
that the sub amplier and your other
components are turned OFF. Also
turn down the volume control of the
sub amplier and your preamplier
or receiver.
• This diagram shows all the low
power components sharing a power
strip which is connected to the same
outlet used by your main amplier.
• The subwoofer amplier is con
-
nected to an outlet on the same
circuit breaker, provided that the
total system current draw does not
exceed the breaker current rating.
• This arrangement will reduce the
possibility of an audible hum in your
system caused by a ground loop.
• Whenever possible, keep the
power cords away from the signal
cables or speaker wires to prevent
any hum or interference being
heard in the speakers.
• Choose reliable, high quality inter-
connect cables, also called patch
cords or RCA cables. They should
be fully shielded and as short as
possible for the job. The longest
cable in your system will likely be to
the subwoofer, so choose a good
quality brand.
• Some patch cords can be a very
tight t and there is usually a
preferred method of getting them
off. Some have to be removed
with a twisting action. Be gentle or
you may damage the jacks of the
subwoofer amplier or your other
components.
Speaker Level connections
• The subwoofer’s speaker level
inputs can accept speaker wires
with banana, dual-banana, bare
wire or spade terminals. If you have
banana type connectors on your
speaker wire, make sure that you
tighten the binding posts before
inserting.
Make sure that the negative
speaker wires never touch the posi-
tive wires as this will short out and
possibly damage your amplier.
