PC Audio Signal Connection
The ButtKicker® Gamer is designed to work with low frequency audio signals.
With a 5.1 / 7.1 sound card, use the mini Y adaptor to split the audio signal from
the center / sub output (refer to your soundcards manual to locate this output).
With a stereo soundcard use the mini Y adaptor to split the audio signal from the
stereo (line out) output. Please refer to the enclosed Quick Start Guide for further
installation information.

VOLUME CONTROL SOFTWARE PROGRAMS
Some soundcard manufacturers may have software that must be adjusted separately
from the operating system volume control. Consult applicable manual for specific
hardware documentation.
Many of these programs include control of the bass or subwoofer output. Increasing
the level of the bass or subwoofer output on the soundcard or surround sound receiver
will also increase the signal strength received by the ButtKicker Power Amplifier and
will increase the intensity of the ButtKicker Gamers output.
SYSTEM BALANCE
It is important to adjust and balance the level of the subwoofer volume and intensity
of the ButtKicker Gamer with the rest of the system. The subwoofer output level
control (if this exists on your computer) and the main volume control should be used
in conjunction with the audio speaker and ButtKicker Power Amplifier volume controls
to balance the entire system.
