and black or minus to black or minus. Connections should
be identical for both channels. To check that the speakers are
in correct phase, switch the system to mono while music is
being played. if the amplifier does not have a phase inversion
switch, it will be necessary to change over the connections on
one only of the loudspeakers. If in correct phase, the image
should be distinctly located between the loudspeakers with a
s
light loss of bass and low midrange level. If the image is confu-
sed and not centrally located and there is a drastic loss of bass
and low midrange level, recheck your connections.

WITH AN ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
Subwoofer positioning
W
ith a crossover point below or around 150 Hz, the installa-
tion position of subwoofers is not limited as human ears and
brains are not able to identify the emitting point of such low
frequencies. To get the best result, it is recommended to try dif-
ferent positions and choose the one giving the best response
in the low frequencies, taking into account the room acoustics.
Hooking up the subwoofer
2 possibilities are offered to connect the subwoofer with your
system:
■ the low level one requiring the use of the Cinch RCA LINE IN
7
and LINE OUT
8
terminals and shielded coaxial connectors,
■ the high level one requiring the use of the HIGH LEVEL
INPUT
9
and HIGH LEVEL OUTPUT
0
terminals and standard
loudspeaker cables.
The inputs are stereo ones, the mix of the
L (left) and R (right)
low frequencies being done by the amplifier of the subwoofer.
If the input signal is already mono, only one input
L (left) or R
(right)
should be used.

If your preamplifier or your integrated amplifier is fitted with
a stereo low-level output, then connect its

outputs to the L (left) and R (right) LINE IN

woofer. If your amplifier offers a one mono output, connect it

If the preamp section of your Hi Fi or audio-video system is not
fitted with a low level output, you should then connect the
subwoofer by using its loudspeaker terminals. When connec-
ting the
L (left) and R (right) speaker outputs of your amplifier
to the
HIGH LEVEL INPUT
9
plugs of the subwoofer, be care-
ful not to cross (-) and (+) cord of either
L (left) or R (right)
channel. Such a phase inversion might damage your main
amplifier.
